A large number of All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters comprising women and youths have converged in Abuja to demonstrate their support for the candidacy of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima in the 2023 presidential election.

The APC supporters, who converged at the instance of the Minister of State for the FCT, Hajia Ramatu Tijanni-Aliyu, took to the streets in the early hours of Saturday, chanting solidarity songs.

The youths and women were seen carrying placards with various inscriptions such as: “Bola Tinubu, the Best Man for the Job”, “With Tinubu/Shettima We Stand”, and “Tinubu/Shettima Joy of the Masses”, among others.

Speaking during the rally, the state minister thanked the crowd for coming out to show solidarity with the APC presidential candidates.

She said: “My joy knows no bound as I see hardworking women and youth gathered here today to put up the mass march and rally for Tinubu.

“It shows that FCT women and youth are fully in support of the mandate of Asiwaju Tinubu and Kashim Shettima who will prioritise the wishes and aspirations of indigenes and residents of the Federal Capital.

“They will also be consolidating on the astonishing achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari who has always been committed to the revitalisation of Abuja local communities not just the city centres.”

Also speaking during the rally, Christiana John, one of the participants, hailed the minister for standing by the protesters and providing logistics cover for the event.

While noting that Abuja is 100 percent APC, Mrs John disclosed that residents and indigenes of the federal capital would deliver thier votes for the APC from top to bottom.

On his part, the Coordinator of the Arewa Media for Asiwaju (AMSA), Yusuf Muawiyya Muye, thanked young Nigerians for coming out en masse to support the APC, saying the not-too-young-to-run bill, which President Muhammadu Buhari assented into law is yielding results.
