‘I’m your senior brother, respect my presidential ambition’ – Tinubu tells Governor Ayade
An All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential aspirant, Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has told a fellow presidential aspirant and Governor of Cross River State, Ben Ayade to support his presidential ambition.
Tinubu said he is a “senior brother” to Ayade, and the Governor should honor and support his presidential ambition.
He made the request during a visitation to Ayade in Calabar yesterday, and this was publicized via a statement by Bayo Onanuga, the Director of Media and Communication of the Tinubu Campaign Organisation.
The former Governor of Lagos State has told Ayade to declare his support for him (Tinubu) ahead of the party’s primaries in Abuja.
“Mine is to respect you as you respect me. I appeal to you as your senior brother and the first to declare his intention, not to endorse me today, but when you get to Abuja, you can endorse me fully.
“We must have that unity of purpose. We must work together not only for the unity and economic development of Cross River, but also of the country,” he said.
