The National Union of Blacksmiths and Tinkers Workers of Nigeria (NUBTWN) has endorsed APC’s Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima for Saturday’s presidential election.
The representatives of the group from the 36 states of the federation and the FCT converged on Abuja on Monday where they announced the endorsement.
The national secretary of the union, Alhaji Ishaku Kontagora, announced the endorsement on behalf of other members at a forum in Abuja.
The event was organised by Project 774, a national support group for Tinubu’s presidency led by Senator Sabi Abdullahi.
