Thousands of young people on Saturday held a solidarity rally in support of the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, and his vice presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima, in buildup to the 2023 presidential poll.
They included Hausa and Ndigbos groups, marching through Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way, Ikeja, after converging on Maryland Roundabout, to Police College, GRA.
The rally organised by a support group, led by Seyi Tinubu, son of the APC presidential candidate was tagged ‘Eko Youth Walk for Tinubu/Shettima, Governor Sanwo-Olu/Hamzat’s re-election’.

The youths were later addressed at the Ikeja Police College with various musicians entertaining the crowd.
