While it is not lending support to any of the Political Parties, the Yoruba community says it is going all out to ensure the victory of its kinsman, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the Presidential race and calls on members not to sell their votes.
The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who was a former Lagos State Governor emerged the Presidential candidate of the party at the Special Convention and Presidential Primary held at the Eagle Square Abuja.
He has since then been gradually putting together a coalition of opinion moulders, Politicians, Socio Cultural organisations and the Business Community to give him the required broad base to win the election.
This latest endorsement by the Yoruba Community in the FCT comes barely 24 Hours after he was honoured as the Talk and Do Politician in the FCT also by Nollywood practitioners.
He was also endorsed by Mogaji’s and Baale’s within the Ibadan Chieftaincy system who announced their resolve to back him for the position of President in 2023.
