The South-West APC in a statement on Friday by its Publicity Secretary, Mr Ayo Afolabi, said his victory was a proof of his popularity and acceptability all over the country.
The party said it believed Tinubu’s emergence would translate to victory at the poll and it would bring about the massive turnaround needed by the country.
The party also assured Tinubu of its resolve to deliver 90 per cent of the region’s votes during the 2023 presidential election.
The statement partly read, “Without doubt, your election demonstrated an overwhelming support from Nigerians across the geo-political zones which was a clear indication that Nigerians want you as their next president.
“The APC in the South-West stands by you in every step you take in the journey to the Presidency, and we like to assure you that we will deliver the votes of the South-West in not less than 90 per cent of total registered voters in the region.
“We are one with our governors, National Assembly members, State Assembly members, local governments and indeed all leaders and members of our great party within the South-West region at this movement.
“We send you our hearty congratulations, and we pray that this will be the beginning of a turnaround for Nigeria in terms of security, economic development, infrastructural upgrading, agric development and housing for the entire population of Nigeria.
“We appeal to all Nigerians to stand up and be counted in this noble movement to build on the legacies of President Muhammadu Buhari which will put Nigeria in its proper place in the comity of great nations.”
