The Coalition of Muslim Women for Asiwaju (COMWA) has congratulated former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his emergence as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a press statement signed by its Chairperson/Convener, Hajia Rasheedah Adebari, the group thanked Almighty Allah for the victory recorded by Tinubu, who emerged as the ruling party’s standard bearer for the upcoming 2023 presidential election.

The former Senator of the federal republic of Nigeria, who is a Southern Muslim, polled 1,271 votes to defeat other 13 aspirants in a presidential primary election held at the Eagles Square, Abuja, between Monday, June 6 and Wednesday, June 8, 2022.

According to Adebari, “We are using this medium to extend our profound gratitude to Allah for making it a reality the aspiration of our father, leader and mentor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the presidential flag-bearer of All Progressives Congress, APC.”

The group, representing Muslim women across all the political zones, has been mobilising Muslim women all over the country in the last few months and have shown their unflinching support for the candidacy of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“Muslim women as home and nation builders are not only verifying and getting their PVCs but mobilising other women and youths to do so as well.

“COMWA firmly reiterates its active support for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and we pray that he attains the position of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in sound health and safety come May 2023.

“We thank all our members and well-wishers for supporting and believing in the dreams of our mentor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. May we all come out victorious in all our endeavors,” she said.
