An association called the North-West Support Groups For Asiwaju 2023 has refuted allegations by one Aminu Sani Jaji as being solely responsible for the electoral victory of the President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the North West and other parts of the North.
In a press conference on Tuesday in Kaduna, the leader of the group, Comrade Khalid Shehu Kaoho
said that Aminu Sani Jaji’s claims were unfounded and dubious as the claimant was not known to have campaigned for Tinubu . It added that only the Governor of Zamfara, Mohammed Bello Matawalle was the only factor that galvanised support for the group when it was campaigning for President-Elect .
“We are compelled to react to this blatant false claims because we are a critical factor in the Asiwaju campaign and should know those directly or remotely associated with the victory in all the North-West states and some states in other zones.
“In our capacity as such, the only person that closely identified with our activities and in various forms, actively supported our every move to promote the Asiwaju and the APC, is the Governor of Zamfara State, Mohammed Bello Matawalle in his capacity as the North- West coordinator of the Tinubu campaign.
“Matawalle was almost the only man who showed real commitment to what we were doing by way of logistics, monitoring and guidance.
The group further called on the President-Elect and other critical stakeholders to be wary of dealing with Sani Jaji and his like who are simply out to deceive them .
“By this, we call on the President-elect to be wary of such political merchants that parade themselves as significant factors whereas they are inconsequential, hypocritical and self- centred.
