Can we talk about the mammoth crowd during our Freedom Walk or the chorusing of his name at Mapo Hall during the campaign flag-off of governor Seyi Makinde in the presence of the G5 governors, I want to talk about”.
“I want to use this medium to appreciate other leaders like Elder Wole Oyelese, Jumoke Akinjide, Engr Femi Babalola Jogor and others for making the walk a success. Also to our teeming members, who trooped out in numbers to show their solidarity and support to our party presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar”.
