Lagos State indigenes in Kaduna State have vowed to support the candidature of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu come 2023.
The acting chairman of the Association of Lagos State indigenes in Kaduna, Mr Sheriff Olutusin, made this known while speaking at the Isokan Omo Day and award ceremony in Kaduna on Sunday.
According to him, they have adopted Tinubu not because he’s from the state but because he has contributed immensely to the development of Nigeria.
“We have adopted Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as our candidate, not only because he is one of us, but because he has contributed immensely to the development of Nigeria and he is the type of leader Nigeria needs right now, a leader with vision and sense of direction.”
On the Isokan Omo Eko, he said apart from showcasing the cultural heritage of Lagos, “We shall also be using the occasion to sensitize our members and other guests on the importance of their participation in the 2023 general elections.”

“It was for this reason that I plea with you to please and please support APC in the next coming elections.
