Tinubu: APC youths start jogging from Yenagoa to Lagos

Young members of the All Progressives Congress in the South-East and South-South regions started running from Yenagoa to Lagos on Thursday in an effort to rally support for Bola Tinubu, the party’s presidential candidate.

The young people assembled a group of fitness enthusiasts to participate in the six-day activity under the aegis of the South-East/South-South Jogging for Tinubu Campaign Initiative.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Dr. Dennis Otiotion, the party’s Bayelsa chairman, started the jogging at the APC’s secretariat in Bayelsa.

Otiotio thanked the youths for volunteering to mobilize support for the Tinubu/Shettima presidential campaign moments before takeoff, saying the action showed that Nigerian youths favored Tinubu.

He stated that mass youth mobilization and youth development continued to be facilitated by sports, which attracted youths from 11 states in the South-East and South-South geopolitical zones.

The fact that the APC youngsters started the jogging from Yenagoa, according to Otitio, was noteworthy and showed the state’s support for Tinubu’s presidency.

According to the state APC chairman, Tinubu’s record as governor of Lagos State is still a verifiable indicator of his ability to lead.

Earlier, Mr. Sam Adaga, the coordinator of the support group, informed Otiotio that the 25-person team included the organisation’s executive and at least two representatives from each of the 11 states in the South-East and South-South.

The intention, he said, was to increase public awareness throughout the towns along their path from Yenagoa to Lagos.

Eight of the joggers, according to him, were women.
