Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the 2023 election, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, yesterday, described Ekiti election as the litmus test for next year’s presidential election, urging the people of the state not to let the party down.
He said the party cannot afford to lose the state, the more reason all the warring parties within the APC must bury their hatchets and come together to ensure victory for the party’s candidate in the Saturday’s election.
Tinubu was in Ekiti in company of 14 APC governors for the grand finale political rally, for the governorship candidate of the party in the June 18 poll, Mr Biodun Oyebanji.
At the event were former Interim National Chairman of the APC, Chief Bisi Akande, and the current National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu.
Also in attendance were Governors Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano, Dapo Abiodun of Ogun, Gboyega Oyetola of Osun, Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna, Abdurasaq Abdurahman of Kwara and Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe.
Others are Governors Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi, Solomon Lalong of Plateau, Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa, Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa, Babagaba Zulum of Borno State and Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos.
Don’t let me down, Tinubu begs Ekiti people.
Tinubu told the mammoth crowd that had converged on the Ekiti Parapo Pavilion, the venue of the rally, as early as 10am, that APC had started a revolution in Nigeria since 2015 by sweeping away the PDP.
He noted that the revolution pioneered by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 and, which was sustained in 2019 should be allowed to reach its zenith by voting for APC in all elections.
