PDP, LP and SDP leaders willing to work for Tinubu

SWAGA's convener claimed that leaders of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, Labour Party, and Social Democratic Party had approached SWAGA’s leadership to express their willingness to work for Tinubu.

His words:

“To be honest, Asiwaju Tinubu will win the coming election. This is a man that is loved by the masses, traders, market women as well as traditional rulers. He is equally well-received by opposition parties.
“Let me take former governor Ayodele Fayose for example. He is in the PDP but he has been saying he wants Tinubu as president. And I can even tell you that Asiwaju Segun Oni is in SDP but deep in his mind can’t vote against Tinubu.

“It’s not anti-party. It’s a personal issue and relationship they have with Tinubu. Governor Fayose has been saying it even though governor Oni is a bit quiet about it but I know in his mind he can’t work against Tinubu."

Prominent southwest pastor rejects Tinubu, gives crucial reason

In what appeared to be directed to the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, Pastor Tunde Bakare, says good politicians do not ask others to answer questions directed at them.

The presiding overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church (formerly Latter Rain Assembly) said this in his state-of-the-nation address on Sunday, January 15.

Though the pastor did not mention Tinubu's name, he gave several instances that showed he was referring to the APC presidential candidate.
