He added that the region's people have discovered the importance of supporting the APC after "several betrayals by the drowning opposition party."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Tinubu said APC women should tell Nigerians calling for a change of government in the forthcoming 2023 elections to “shut up.”

Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos state, made the comment on Monday, October 10, while speaking at the launch of the women’s team of the ruling party's presidential campaign.

He said Nigerians seeking a change of government have forgotten the situation of the country before President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office, adding that he will put an end to banditry if elected president in 2023.
