While appealing for a massive mobilization of support for APC candidates, he noted that “I, therefore, canvass for massive votes for all the APC candidates for the state and national assembly seats, and as well ensure that the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, emerges as the next President of the country.”

On his own part, Naija News learnt that the incumbent state governor, Biodun Oyebanji, who was also present at the occasion opined that Tinubu’s election as the next president of the country is non-negotiable.

“We are optimistic that Nigerians will vote for us massively. We shall also mobilise massively for our candidates.”
