2023 Presidential Race: Coalition group for VP Osinbajo expected in A’ Ibom March 5

A coalition of multiple support groups campaigning for the Presidential bid of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in 2023, is expected in Akwa Ibom state on March 5.

The collaboration coined Tribe has scheduled a series of declaration ceremonies across the different geo-political zones in the country, as part of the presidential electioneering activities of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

The March 5 event in Akwa Ibom will be the second in the series of declaration ceremonies overlooking the presidential election in 2023.

Addressing journalists on the arrangements so far on behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, Mr. Uduak Ikpat, on Thursday said the event will draw delegates from support groups across the length and breadth of Nigeria.

“The event is organised to bring together Nigerians of like mind, united by the common objective of building a new tribe of Nigerians whose allegiance is not on tongue, tribe or religion, but to the unifying principles of nationhood, fired by the objective of driving change through innovation, enterprise, and industry.

“United by the common belief that the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, is the most accomplished, suitable, and prepared person to lead the country in 2023. Hundreds of support groups have emerged around the country calling on him to run for the office of President in 2023.

“The New Tribe is a movement by Nigerians, motivated by the conviction and belief that to build a new Nigeria, we need to build a new tribe of Nigerians. Its vision is that of a new Nigeria; a new tribe governed by the can-do spirit and a new ethos founded around the values of integrity, hard work, justice, accountability, unity, sacrifice, patriotism, love for the people and country, and a sense of community.

“The New Tribe believes that innovation is at the core of progress and development and that the energy and creativity required for national transformation already abound among our youth and that the right leadership at the national level only needs to plug in to see to the actualisation of the promise that Nigeria is”. He said

The Local Organising Committee has called on Akwa Ibomites to be part of the patriotic event which strives to have a leadership that would consolidate on the achievements of past leaders in order to attain a new Nigeria of our dreams.
