President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign has received a boost in Ekiti State as the governorship candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP; Social Democratic Party, SDP; and Allied Peoples Movement, APM, in the June 20 election declared support for his second-term bid.
The opposition politicians announced their support at the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential campaign rally in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday.
President Tinubu, represented by Vice-President Kashim Shettima, said the support of the former opposition candidates, alongside the presence of former governors and other political leaders, demonstrated the APC’s political strength in the state.
He assured Nigerians that the APC-led government would continue implementing policies to bring relief to citizens.
Governor Biodun Oyebanji described the rally as a demonstration of political unity in Ekiti, saying the support of former opposition candidates and former governors had strengthened the APC’s position ahead of the presidential election.
APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, urged Nigerians to re-elect Tinubu, describing him as a performer and reformer.
He also called on Ekiti residents to vote for APC candidates in the National Assembly and State House of Assembly elections to secure the party’s dominance in both legislatures.
