The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidates, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shetiima were swamped by a gale of endorsements yesterday across the six geo-political zones.
Stakeholders including politicians, women groups, farmers, artisans, peasants, and youths vowed to mobilize for the victory of Tinubu in next year’s poll.
A support group, Women Arise for Tinubu, led by Mrs. Oby Onu, reiterated its determination to mobilize support for the standard bearer so that he can reenact his feats as governor of Lagos State if elected.
Former federal legislator Esme Eyiboh, who spoke with reporters in Eket, Akwa Ibom State, said Tinubu is most prepared to govern the country.
Also, farmers’ groups in the North, notably All Farmers Association of Nigeria, Maize Association of Nigeria, Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Rice Farmers Association of Nigeria, and Federation of Agricultural Commodity Association of Nigeria endorsed Tinubu and Shettima, describing the ticket as the best for the country.
Tinubu addressed stakeholders in the agro-allied sector at a town hall meeting in Minna, Niger State.
He said: “If Nigeria fully harnesses its agricultural potentials, our exports will rise to the level such that we shall feed much of sub-Saharan Africa, allowing us to better balance our economy while fostering social tranquillity, stronger consumer bases, and political goodwill between us and other nations in the region and on the continent.”
