“You can see that Governor Aiyedatiwa is the most popular among the candidates for the election but we won’t take that for granted, we would also work to achieve victory and ensure Aiyedatiwa is sworn in as the next governor of the state.”
In his remarks, a former lawmaker and Special Adviser to Governor Aiyedatiwa on Transport, Gbenga Omole expressed the readiness of the chieftains to work for the victory of Aiyedatiwa in the forthcoming poll. He also commended the party chieftains for turning out in large numbers for the meeting.
