Osun state- The traditional rulers in the country especially from the southwest region have reportedly endorsed the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for president in 2023.

The Punch reports that over 300 royal fathers from Southwest are backing the bid by the former governor of Lagos state, Bola Tinubu, for the presidency in 2023.

This was disclosed in Gbongan, Osun state, on Tuesday, November 16, by Senator Dayo Adeyeye, the national chairman of Southwest Agenda for Asiwaju for 2023, a group seeking support for Tinubu ahead of 2023, during the launch of the group at Irewole Federal Constituency.

Adeyeye listed the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi and Alake of Egba, Oba Adedotun Aremu, as some of the royal fathers that had already backed Tinubu for the presidential project.

He said:

“You are representatives of SWAGA and you must continue to advocate Tinubu for the presidential project. By the grace of God, Tinubu will emerge the next Nigeria’s president in 2023.

“All the traditional rulers in Yorubaland are supporting Tinubu, over 300 of them are backing him. From Ooni of Ife to Alaafin of Oyo, Alake and others. He is the best candidate that will come out of Yorubaland.”

Speaking earlier, the Osun state SWAGA coordinator, Ayo Omidiran, said apart from canvassing support for Tinubu ahead of the next presidential election, the group was also rallying support for Governor Adegboyega Oyetola ahead of the 2022 governorship poll.
