Nigeria: APC Supporters Stage Solidarity Walk for Tinubu in Ibadan

15 September 2022

Mr Kekemeke had, earlier on Wednesday, described Mr Tinubu as a true Yoruba son, who had never betrayed the race.

The supporters of Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, in Oyo State staged a solidarity walk on Thursday to rally support for him in Ibadan.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the walk led by Isaac Kekemeke, the APC National Vice-Chairman (South-west) and the Oyo State APC Chairman, Isaac Omodewu, was tagged: "Youths Walk for Asiwaju/Shettima".

The state governorship candidate, Teslim Folarin, and the Oyo Central Senatorial candidate, Yunus Akintunde, also joined other leaders in the walk.

NAN reports that the supporters adorned in different T-shirts bearing the pictures of Mr Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, marched from Oke-Ado to Dugbe and its environs.

Mr Folarin, while speaking, thanked the people for their support over the years, assuring them of a better rewarding future with the APC.

The governorship candidate urged them to believe in APC as the campaigns and general elections approach.

He pleaded with the people to support Mr Tinubu based on his track records, antecedents, competence and being a trustworthy Yoruba man.
