A prominent group advocating for the declaration of the Southwest region of Nigeria, Yoruba World Congress (YWC), has declared their full support for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next year’s presidential election, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The open declaration was held over the weekend at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel, Stratford, London, where eminent personalities gathered to grace the occasion. It is one of the times when such an organisation will be turning back to support a pan-Nigerian political party’s candidate in recent times.
YWC leader, Engr. Adigun Tajudeen Raheem said the time has come for everyone, most especially the son and daughters of the Yorubas around the world to put behind the past and for the success of their son, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in the forthcoming presidential election.
While echoing the expression of ’emilokan’, Raheem stated that his group has resolved to back the APC candidate with the hope that he will return Nigeria’s glory and bring the cohesion and peace required for the progress of the country.
Among the guest at the declaration were: APC leader, Hon Oldeebo Olaide, National Chairman of the TSSG-Diaspora, Amb. Azeez Salam, his deputy, Otunba Jafaru Braimoh, TSSG France Representative, Hadjia Rakeyaat Alfa, TSSG Diaspora Representative, Kemi Hadjia Hauwa and TSSG United Kingdom Representative, Kemi Omole.
Also represented at the occasion were the TSSG Grand Patron, Chief James Faleke and the APC PCC Director of Diaspora Directorate, Prince Ade Omole.
On hand to ably welcome the group is Otunba Oladapo Habeeb who represented the APC UK Campaign Council. The event held amid fanfare promises to ensure the success of Asiwaju Tinubu in the February 2023 general election.
YWC promise to deploy its entire arsenal says this is the best time for Nigeria to take her place in the comity of nations. The group has also indicated their plans to send representative Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to Nigeria to fine-tune their plans for his election.
