Seyi, son of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has given a reason why Anambra State electorates should cast their votes for his father, their in-law than voting for another presidential candidate in the forthcoming general election.
The younger Tinubu who was in Anambra, on Tuesday, to canvass for votes for his father, had told his listeners that he was married to an Igbo woman.
He was conferred with a Chieftaincy title of Nwannedinamba by the traditional ruler of the Mbaukwu kingdom, Igwe Peter Anukwui, in the Awka South Local Government Area of the state.
Speaking with journalists, the APC Flag bearer’s son said he was in the state to galvanise support for his father’s presidential aspiration, adding that his father had the good intentions of the people of the state at heart.
He said: “Bola Ahmed Tinubu has the experience, tolerance and capacity to change the fortunes of Nigeria for the best.
“Everyone has acknowledged that his core strength is his vision for peace, progress and economic development.
“He also has a penchant for discovering, nurturing and empowering talent. Testimonies abound across Nigeria, Igbos, Yorubas, Fulanis, Efiks, Ibibios, Hausas and all the other tribes.
“So I am appealing to Ndi-Anambra and the Igbo region at large to vote for my father because I married an Igbo lady.”
It was reports that the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is also native of Anambra State.
