Nwankwo Kanu, Jay Jay Okocha, Taribo West and other ex-Super Eagles players have thrown their support behind the 2023 presidential ambition of former Lagos state governor Bola Tinubu.
In a video of Mr Tinubu’s meeting with the ex-Internationals seen on Twitter, Taribo West, former footballer turned pastor, led the prayer session.
“We speak to the four corners of these nations, I command them to be arrested. That Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s movement could be established,” Taribo prayed, while the others chorused amen.
This endorsement by ex-footballers came months after they openly supported Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state for president.
