By ARMSTRONG ALLAHMAGANI, Bauchi –
Lobito Support Group for the aspiration of the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has distributed campaign vehicles across the 20 local government areas of Bauchi state.
Lobito is a grassroots support group, initially formed by the friends of Buhari during his first and second term campaigns for election under the leadership of Mallam Ya’u Darazo, the Senior Special Assistant to the President Muhammadu Buhari, on Special Duties.
The group, however, has now transferred their support and loyalty to the former Lagos State Governor and APC presidential candidate, Tinubu.
The distribution of the 21 Volkswagen cars branded with the APC logo and pictures of Tinubu and his running mate, Kassim Shettima, was held on Wednesday at The Event Center, Bauchi.
In an interview with journalists at the distribution ceremony, the Chairman, Lobito Group, Bauchi State Chapter, Idris Lanzai, said the vehicles were distributed to the group’s coordinators across the 20 LGAs of the state to enable them mobilize voters for the APC.
He said: “We are here today to distribute vehicles to our local government coordinators to ease their transportation problems in conveying our messages to our target groups.
“They are to mobilize the electorates to show them how to vote and to encourage them to come out and vote for APC candidates en masse, that is what I mean by mobilization.”
Also speaking, the Bauchi Central Senatorial candidate, Uba Nana, said: “These vehicles are distributed to the local government coordinators for the purpose of working day and night for the purpose of going to the nooks and crannies of the various LGAs of the State canvassing for votes from all our supporters for the success of our party in the 2023 general elections.”
