Tinubu Non Negotiable one of the oldest support groups for the propagation of Tinubu 2023 presidency is undergoing a major shift. The group which was only second to the popular TMT has been on the air making waves as early as 2020 for the Asiwaju project but went underground afterwards due to internal strife.
Apparently the group is coming out of the abyss and headed for greatness at it reshuffle, rebrand and renew its leadership. In a press release made available to Abuja Network News by an inside source the group announced new leadership thus.

Ladies and Gentlemen
On behalf of our Movement New Reformation Unity Forum (NRUF),
I welcome
you all to this important gathering specially organized to bring to the attention
of our party, it's leadership and all party men and women including those in
the Diaspora; the following important issues with the aim to clarify, inform and
request immediate actions of the appropriate party sanctioning authorities.
Leaders, Members of the New Reformation Unity Forum, distinguished Guests
and members of the Press, let me at this juncture recall that by July 2019,
weeks after the resounding victory of our party the All Progressives Congress in
the general elections of that momentous year and the second inauguration of
President Muhammadu Buhari, attention shifted to how the party would win
the next election in 2023.
Progressives in the Party and other similar inclinations, men and women, came
together to form a Movement aimed to win the next elections.
It was well considered that the next election would require a most sellable and
accepted candidate in all the geo political corners of the federation. After
rigorous scrutiny of the performance score cards of many leaders track records
based on party loyalty, discipline and consistent steadfastness; the searchlight
pinpointed Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
It was this thoroughly researched and concluded result that gave birth to
Tinubu 2023 Non-Negotiable (TNN 2023) and the beginning of the arduous task
to apply pressure on him to consider to contest.
The Movement started the feverish hard, back-breaking work to spread the
message to all the corners of the federation.
Structures were established and offices were put in place in all states, local
government, wards and the Federal Capital Territory.
Distinguished Leaders, The Press, Ladies and Gentlemen, as the Movement
was relishing it's achievements within such a short period, it dawned that a
greater work still lay ahead; beyond the identification of candidate and
persuasion to contest.
The hardest work, it appeared to all, was the more difficult area of the
establishment of a pragmatic progressive platform for the candidate that will
resonate with the broad and mostly critical electorates across the length and
width of the nation.
So the Think Tank of the Movement submitted a well-received proposal that in
the main, will promote national unity, foster peaceful coexistence and socio-
political enrichment of the citizenry, especially the teeming and also restive
youths.
The need to institutionalize the ideals compelled the registration of a Special
Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for the realization of the agenda, named NewReformation Unity Forum (NRUF) with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC)
while the Tinubu 2023 will remain the main objective and the winning of the
2023 elections, as the cardinal aspirations of all members.
Sadly and while we were savoring our accomplishments, was when the former
National Coordinator and self-acclaimed Global Convener, Kunle
Okunola dropped the bombshell - that Asiwaju has directed him to collapse all
structures, form another political party to use in case APC may not
accommodate his aspirations.
The announcement, needless to say, was received with rude shock, disbelief by
all and confrontations. Mutiu Kunle Okunola stuck to his lie, stood his ground
and dared all, members who disagree with this anti party moves were forced
out of the movement, some were threatened, intimidated and blackmailed.
We also have evidence of very insidious anti-party activities on the part of
Mutiu Kunle Okunola.
He tried forming a political party while pretending to
still be in the APC and registered same with INEC which incidentally, did not
recognize the still-born party - it was called the A-RPM
Further investigations were to reveal and expectedly, that the moribund party
was a scheme to defraud the unsuspecting men and women jostling to clinch
positions including those of the Board of Trustees which positions were sold for
millions of naira. These innocent people who invested heavily in the dead party,
it has further become public knowledge, are now under severe physical threats
resulting from demanding refunds of investments. Words are also out that
these allegations are being thoroughly investigated and we are paying greater
attention to the progress being achieved of the investigations.
It was during this chaotic situation that words filtered out that Mutiu Kunle
Okunola contested and lost the party primaries for Ikeja Federal Constituency
to Honorable James Abiodun Faleke under our party the APC. Having lost thelection woefully without a single vote and a distance 4th, Mutiu Kunle
Okunola defected to the Labour Party, compelled INEC through a Court Order
to make him the Candidate of Labour Party. Okunola is now strongly
supporting the Labour Party and it's presidential candidate Peter Obi.
As I stated clearly in the beginning of this press conference , this gathering is
called to achieve among many other objectives the exposure of Mutiu Kunle
Okunola as a treacherous and vicious politician unworthy of the membership
of our great and respected party, to expressly show to all that we have kept a
dignified distance from him and to finally reestablish steadfast, unswerving
loyalty to our party and it's esteemed leadership and the dream to join all to
install Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the next president after President
Muhammadu Buhari.
Finally and most heart-warningly, we announce that the departure of Mutiu
Kunle Okunola from our Movement has been overwhelmingly received by all
members as a certain "good riddance to bad rubbish" and all are wishing him a
political adieu.
The very important issues for the attention of our party, this important
gathering and our movement leadership, include the following:
1. That Mutiu Kunle Okunola is no longer a member of NRUF/ Tinubu 2023
Non - Negotiable (TNN 2023).
2. Mutiu Kunle Okunola is now a member of the Labour Party, the House of
Representatives Candidate of the Party, Ikeja Federal Constituency, a known
sponsor, supporter and promoter of the Presidential Candidate of the Party,
Peter Obi
3. That the Tinubu 2023 Non-Negotiable after the exit of Mutiu Kunle Okunola,
has been repositioned to achieve it's founding objective of working for theactualization of the Tinubu/Shettima 2023 and ensuring the victory of Bola
Ahmed Tinubu in the February 25 , 2023 Presidential polls.
4. We declare total loyalty to our great Party, the All Progressives Congress
(APC.) our endorsement of:
a. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, his deputy Kashim Shettima ,
b. All candidates of our party the All Progressives Congress throughout the
nation; and more so Hon. James Abiodun Faleke.
5. We call for the immediate former suspension, dismissal and removal of
Mutiu Kunle Okunola as a member of the APC and the PCC.
Okunola's exit has imposed a necessary greater burden on our Movement, now
more than ever before - the work to join others in the national patriotic
national drive and dream to ensure total victory at the polls in February, 2023
for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
I assure you all that we are poised solemnly to confront this challenge and
overcome it, by the special permission of our Lord of the Universe.
On a final note; it is to our attention that Kunle Okunola has fraudulently
recreated the acronyms TNN23 which originally stands for Tinubu 2023 Non-
Negotiable to The Non-Negotiable. To avoid public confusion we hereby drop
the acronym TNN23, although Tinubu 2023 is a banker and God's own project.
After days of consultation, the Regional and Diaspora Leaders representing
their region and the Diaspora we have decided to announce that Tinubu 2023
Non-Negotiable is hereby DEFUNT, we hereby announce the formation of
Tinubu Alliance Network (TAN), and Honourable Olayinka Falola as the Acting National Cootdinator.
More leadership position of our Movement will be announced soonest in the
coming days.
We will like to express our sincere appreciation to members and leaders across
board most especially the Diaspora Executives for taking the bull by the horn.
Thank you for your time in attending this occasion and especially the patience
and the undivided attention that you paid to this address.
God bless us all and I pray for journey mercies as you return to the safety of
your sanctuaries.
Thank you and God bless."
Signed: Hon. Ani Hygenius
Director of Media and Publicity.
