The youths, under the auspices of South-East/South-South Jogging for Tinubu Campaign Initiative, kicked off the 6-day jogging exercise on Thursday.

Bayelsa State Chairman of the APC, Dr Dennis Otiotio, flagged off the exercise at the party’s secretariat in Yenagoa.

Addressing the team before takeoff, Otiotio commended their resilience and commitment to the project of electing Tinubu as president in 2023.

According to the state party chairman, the move indicated that Nigerian youths want the former Lagos governor as their next president.

He described sports as a veritable tool for youth development and mass mobilisation.

Speaking further, Otiotio hailed Tinubu’s track record of good governance as indicative of his leadership capacity.

Earlier, the Coordinator of the support group, Sam Adaga, told Otiotio that the 25-member team drew at least two representatives each from all the 11 states in the South-East and South-South.

According to Adaga, the exercise is aimed at raising awareness amongst the populace across settlements along their route from Yenagoa to Lagos to ensure Tinubu’s victory.
