Tinubu addresses summit
Speaking at the summit, the APC presidential candidate urged his supporters to keep their minds at rest, expressing confidence that he will win.
He said the most important action to take on Saturday, February 25, the election day, is to come out massively with their friends and family to vote for him.
Tinubu who spoke in the Yoruba language also urged religious leaders to keep praying for him and by the grace of God, all the prayers will be answered and he shall be victorious at the end of the day.
It was gathered that the southwest leaders at the summit endorsed the APC presidential candidate.
Sanwo-Olu speaks
Also speaking, the governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said the Yoruba Leaders of Thought gathered to endorse Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima ahead of Saturday, February 25 presidential election.
"I salute the prominent leaders from the South West for mobilising home support for our candidate.
"We have seen how he demonstrated his capacity as Governor of Lagos and his achievements speak for themselves. He is a committed democrat and it is by coincidence that he is a Yoruba man.
"Beyond this, he is a detribalised Nigerian who is ready to work for Nigeria’s good. This election for us is not about ethnic sentiment nor are we playing identity card games. The endorsement today is about identifying with a candidate who has the capacity and supporting someone who truly knows the way," the Lagos governor said.
2023 Polls: Tinubu tipped to become the biggest beneficiary of Naira redesign
In another report, Tinubu was tipped as the biggest beneficiary of the naira redesign policy implemented by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Some APC chieftains made the prediction while reflecting on the current scarcity of the naira and its aftermath in the build-up to the Saturday, February 25th presidential polls.
The APC leaders said that Tinubu having the guts to challenge the CBN policy openly was a sign of his love for the masses and, in turn, the act could earn him sympathy votes at the presidential polls.
