“The Foundation seeks to project Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he is and has been over the years, Omisore said.

“This bus is given to NUJ Lagos Council in order to continue to take its rightful position as the most vibrant Council in Nigeria and to help the council in discharging its day-to-day activities,” he added.

Omisore urged NUJ Lagos Council members as well as the Executive members to support the Chairman, Mr. Adeleye Ajayi in order to attain greater heights.

“Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a philanthropist, a father, who is always willing to help people within a short time frame,” he said’.

The NUJ chairman described the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a man with the largest political followership in the last two decades in Nigeria.

“Bola Ahmed Tinubu who led the the party to victory twice in the last seven years is a force to be reckoned with in Nigeria’s political space,” Ajayi said’

Ajayi also sought the support of BAT Foundation towards the completion of the Council’s two-storey Secretariat on Iyalla Street, Alausa, Ikeja, amongst other things.

The NUJ chairman also called on more Nigerians to follow the footsteps of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu by way of supporting the needy in the country at all times.

Ajayi expressed his gratitude to the Honourable Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. (Hon.) Dr. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa who facilitated the bus, following a courtesy visit to his office by Lagos Council Executive members on January 5, 2021.
