The group reportedly moved ahead to set up a presidential campaign council on Tuesday in Ibadan, Oyo state capital, to push for Tinubu’s candidature.

The campaign council tagged, ‘The South-West Agenda’, was said to include former minister of defence, Musiliu Obanikoro; Adesoji Akanbi, senator representing Oyo south; and former house of representatives member, Abayomi Ogunnusi.

“Our mission is political. Politics has started and everyone is scrambling. We, the Yoruba people, see it as our turn because it is the agreement that presidency would be rotational,” Adeyeye had said.
