According to 9ice, the reason for supporting Tinubu is because the one-time governor of Lagos singled him out in a crowd of 5,000 people to request for his number.

"It's not easy for a person of such eminence in such a crowded area to pick interest in an artist, let alone collect his phone number," he added.
