The National Coordinator of Students Movement of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Odumosu has dismissed support for presidential candidates on social media, stating that youths in Nigeria will vote for the candidate of APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Comrade Odumosu, in a press statement issued to journalists on Saturday, also faulted the criticisms against Tinubu’s choice of another Muslim, Senator Kashim Shettima, as his running mate.
Speaking on the massive campaign for other presidential candidates by the youths on social media, Odumosu said, “I am a youth, which of the youths? This is Nigeria. Let us forget about all these cyber apps. Politics is more than going to Facebook or social media. We have passed that level.
“Let us discuss issue-based politics; it is not social media politics. I am a youth. I am a Nigerian. I am not a foreigner. I know what is going on here and I know very well that Nigerians are going to vote for Asiwaju, Nigerians are going to stand with Asiwaju and Nigerians are going to support him till the end during the 2023 elections.”
While stressing the need to sensitise Nigerians to collect their PVCs, he urged the electorate to come out for the 2023 general elections and “vote for somebody that has competence; somebody that we feel at the end of it all, would take this country to a higher level.”
Comrade Odumosu however, pointed out that the organisation is not sponsored by Tinubu or the APC, saying “It is sponsored by people that love this country, by lovers of the APC and lovers of Asiwaju”.
