Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos has called on Yorubas to unite and support the presidential aspiration of Bola Tinubu.
Mr Sanwo-Olu made the call at the 2022 edition of the annual ‘Ojude Oba Festival’ in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun.
Tinubu, a former Lagos governor on Sunday announced ex-Governor Kassim Shettima of Borno as his running mate.
Both men are Muslims.
“Let me pronounce that in the unifying spirit of the Ojude Oba celebration, it is my firm hope and belief that the Yoruba race will unite as one behind the momentous candidature of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” stated Mr Sanwo-Olu.
“He is a proud son of the race and one of the most formidable and experienced politicians to have ever emerged from Africa.”
He added that the Ojude Oba had become a prominent cultural and religious festival in Nigeria, and yet stayed true to its Islamic roots.
According to him, celebrations like the Ojude Oba remind the faithful that evil will not triumph over good.
