Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Alaafin of Oyo, Lamidi Adeyemi, has thrown his weight behind the Presidential ambition of Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n

Adeyemi assured Tinubu that the ancestors of Yorubaland would help him become Nigeria\u2019s next president.<\/p>\n

The traditional ruler spoke when he received the former Governor of Lagos State in his palace yesterday.<\/p>\n

Tinubu visited the Alaafin of Oyo to seek his blessing for his presidential ambition.<\/p>\n

Addressing Tinubu, Adeyemi said: \u201cIf I check my list now, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the first presidential aspirant to visit me.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll you the chiefs and traditional rulers, you have heard what our visitor said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said our prayers are needed. All the ancestors in Yorubaland, get up and assist your son.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking earlier, the Presidential aspirant said his visit was to seek the support of the monarch.<\/p>\n

Tinubu noted that he can\u2019t become Nigeria\u2019s president without the support of Adeyemi.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I came for today is to seek for your blessing, cooperation and prayers for me to become the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
