Tinubu, standard bearer of the All Progressives Congress , visited the home of Fasoranti in Akure, the Ondo capital.
During the meeting, the former governor of Lagos could be seen bowing his head to receive prayers from the Afenifere leader. The last time Tinubu visited Fasoranti was in 2019 when he condoled with him over the death of Funke Olakunrin, his daughter.Fasoranti’s support for Tinubu comes weeks after Ayo Adebanjo, one of the founding fathers of Afenifere, endorsed Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party .
Explaining why he is supporting Obi for the presidency, Adebanjo said it is based on the principle of equity and federal character as enshrined in the constitution.
“We cannot continue to demand that the Igbo people remain in Nigeria, while we at the same time continue to brutally marginalise and exclude them from the power dynamics.”
