Islamic leaders, group, others pray, mobilise support for Tinubu in Oyo, Ondo, Lagos

Organisations and Islamic leaders from across Oyo State have declared support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, with grand prayers.

A popular Islamic preacher, Sheik Hamad Alfulanny, who spoke at the programme, tagged “National Prayer for Bola Tinubu’s Endorsement,’ during the weekend, in Ibadan and sponsored by owner of the hotel, Chief Dotun Sanusi, said that pedigree and antecedent stands Tinubu out of other contestants vying for the presidential seat, hence his wide acceptability.

Sanusi said that Tinubu would foster peace and development if elected as Nigeria’s next president.
SIMILARLY, a support group within the All Progressives Congress (APC), under the auspices of Independent Campaign Group for Bola Tinubu/Shettima, has said that it is leaving no stone unturned towards ensuring victory for the party and its presidential candidate at the polls in Ondo State.

Convener of the group, Bayo Ikubuwaje, said that intensive mobilisation of professionals, youths and women had begun across the 18 local councils of the state.

BESIDES, a former member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Lanre Odubote, who represented Epe Federal Constituency in Lagos State, yesterday, appealed to all monarchs in Yorubaland and other stakeholders to support Tinubu in the 2023 general elections.

He said Tinubu is the only presidential candidate among the contestants with the necessary political prerequisite to take Nigeria out of the current mess.

Odubote, while speaking on phone with The Guardian, said: “Tinubu can replicate how he tamed insecurity in Lagos at the national level. He can also apply the same economic policies and the assemblage of brains that transformed Lagos economy at the national level if elected.”

He, therefore, appealed to the Christian community in the South and North to look beyond the politics of Muslim-Muslim propaganda, saying: “The former governor of Lagos State is not politically naive to allow religion sentiment play up if eventually elected next year. I want to assure Christians in the country that Tinubu has what it takes to address the issue of security in the country.”
