Traditionalists in Oyo State have endorsed the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
They announced their position at a ceremony held at the Ilaji Hotel and Sports Resort in Ibadan.
Naija News reports that support from the traditionalists is coming after Muslims and Christians in the state also pitched their tent with the APC flagbearer. The programme, which had also featured several other sociocultural groups, was sponsored by the Chief Executive Officer of Ilaji Hotel and Sports Resort in Ibadan, Chief Dotun Sanusi.
Speaking during the event, the Aare Oniseese of Oyo State, Olukunmi Egbelade, said that the programme was not politically motivated, adding that they were simply after peace, unity, progress and development of Yorubaland.
Egbelade argued that the Yorubas would benefit if Tinubu becomes the next president of the country, maintaining that it was the turn of the Yoruba to be at the helms of affairs in Nigeria.
He insisted that their endorsement was necessary for the victory of the APC flag bearer at the 2023 polls.
