“The Northern Nigeria has no option than to support the Yoruba race first and who in the whole of Yoruba race? Bola Tinubu. Because when I ask you to give me one person who support the Northern candidature of Muhammadu Buhari, there is nobody else you can mention other than Tinubu. It is time for us to show whether we are truly son of our parents or not. This is the time.
