Some candidates running for seats in the Osun State House of Assembly on the New Nigeria Peoples Party platform in the 2023 general elections have revealed plans to hold a mega rally in support of All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu.
According to The Punch, Muideen Afolabi, the party’s candidate for Ifelodun State Constituency, revealed the plan in a statement signed on behalf of eight other NNPP House of Assembly candidates and obtained in Osogbo on Monday, December 19.
Afolabi lamented that, with less than two months until the 2023 elections, the NNPP has not been campaigning for the party’s presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, or other candidates running in the state.
The politicians noted that those organizing Tinubu’s rally in the state had also begun a door-to-door campaign for him.
He further said,
“In collaboration with other National Assembly candidates who earlier dumped Kwankwaso, nine of us, House of Assembly candidates are set to organize a mega rally for Tinubu where masses of Osun would be convinced on why they should support him.”
Senator Umaru Tanko Al-Makura has spoken out about his recent meeting with All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The former Nasarawa state governor stated his allegiance and support for Tinubu’s presidential bid.
