He noted the march will culminate at the Aso Villa where Tinubu will be presented to President Muhammadu Buhari as his successor.
Abubakar said the choice of Tinubu was due to his incredible pedigree, experience and resume.
He noted that the former Lagos Governor is respected and widely accepted, especially in the north where he is only second to President Buhari in terms of cult followership.
Abubakar added that the APC leader will sustain infrastructural strides, economic reforms and other remarkable legacies of the president.
