Northern Yoruba

From Noah Ebije, Kaduna

The Council of Yoruba Traditional Obas and Chiefs in the 19 Northern States and the FCT has endorsed the second term bids of President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima and Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani.

The endorsement came at the Grand Solidarity Conference organised by Grant Ecosystem Subscribers, themed “Renewed Hope Agenda: Consolidating Unity and Victory for APC 2027”. Traditional rulers, religious leaders and support groups attended.

The council chairman, Muhammad Arigbabuwo, urged Nigerians to set aside ethnic and religious differences and embrace national unity. He commended Tinubu for leadership, courage and vision, and acknowledged Shettima’s contributions.

Rev. Moses Terkaa Chooji said Tinubu spent three and a half years laying the foundation of a prosperous Nigeria and should be allowed to complete it. He urged residents of Plateau, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger and Kogi to mobilise support.

Speakers, including Apostle Charles Oke and Mrs. Jumia Sarki, also called for industrialisation, accountability and grassroots mobilisation. The conference ended with cultural displays by Yoruba and Hausa dance groups and a formal declaration of support.
