The All Progressives Congress (APC) national leader, Bola Tinubu has said that the Yoruba nation is fully in support of the President Buhari led administration.

Tinubu also said that the South-West will stand by Buhari, despite the various challenges in the country.

The APC national leader who was represented by the APC National Vice Chairman (South-West), Chief Pius Akinyelure also said he is sure the government will turn around Nigeria’s economic fortunes.

According to Tinubu, “South-West support for Buhari is unshaken despite the various challenges in the country, which we believe the present government is addressing.
“There is no doubt that there is no party in Nigeria that can surpass APC’s achievements in office.
