“I’ll Sink Or Float With Asiwaju” — Joe Igbokwe Pledges Unconditional Loyalty To Tinubu
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, on Saturday pledged his unalloyed loyalty to Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the ruling party.
Igbokwe described the 2023 presidential aspirant as the colossus of Lagos politics.
The Special Adviser to Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on drainage and water resources noted that it was Tinubu that made him.
In a post on his Facebook page, Igbokwe said; “Nobody ever passes through Asiwaju BAT’S leadership trainings and ever remains the same again. I have been a lucky man. I am a living witness. Asiwaju made me. I am a proud product of ASIWAJU’S University of BOURDILON. I am not an ingrate, I am not a foolish entity, I am not a betrayer, I have conscience. I will sink or float with Asiwaju, come rains, come sunshine. Please know this and have inner peace. Amen.”
Tinubu has gone on to play an important role in the present administration of Muhammadu Buhari, supporting government policies and holding onto the internal party reins, in lieu of his long-held presidential aspiration.
In 2019, he supported Buhari’s re-election campaign defeating the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar.
