Some politicians across southwest states have come together to form a group named South West Agenda for Asiwaju better known as SWAGA to push forward and compel the former governor of Lagos state and national leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to contest for president in 2023 election.<\/p>\n

Eventhough the APC national leader, Bola Tinubu has not publicly declared his interest to contest for the highest political office in Nigeria but this group particularly its founders have met with several prominent Nigerians including traditional rulers like Olubadan of Ibadan, Ooni of Ile-Ife among others to discuss and seek for their supports to make the mission a reality.<\/p>\n

Most citizens have heard, seen and read press statements issued by the group, SWAGA but they barely know the founders of this political group who has not relented in its efforts to propagate their mission which is to portray Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as an agenda for southwest in 2023 elections.<\/p>\n
