The Hausa Community in Oyo State has backed Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for President.
The members gave the endorsement on the sidelines of a three-in-one programme in honour of a former governor of Oyo State, the late Senator Abiola Ajimobi.
The events include the commissioning of Senator Abiola Ajimobi Resource Centre, fourth Senator Abiola Ajimobi Roundtable entitled: ”Election Security and Good Governance’, and his 72nd posthumous birthday.
The event held at the Institute for Peace and Strategic Studies (IPSS), University of Ibadan.
Osinbajo chaired the event and commissioned the resource centre.
While the programme was ongoing, scores of Hausa Community members, led by Alhaji Yahaya Alli, stormed the venue.
Holding a large digital banner accompanied by local Hausa entertainers, they voiced their support for Osinbajo to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Though I am an Hausa man, I have been part and parcel of the Yoruba because I was born and bred here.
“So, I am more Yoruba than Hausa. I can’t express my happiness enough today because I was fortunate to be part and parcel of this gathering," Ali said.
