The pledge comes amid ongoing efforts to consolidate alliances ahead of the next election cycle, as both Tinubu and Sani are seen as central figures in the ruling party’s roadmap for national progress.
According to Naija247news, the former LP candidate emphasized his commitment to ensuring electoral success for the duo, stating that his experience and grassroots connections would play a pivotal role in delivering the promised votes. “I am determined to facilitate one million votes for Tinubu and Sani in 2027.
