He spoke in Akure at the inauguration of the 305-member National Campaign Council for the November 16 governorship election in Ondo state.

He said since Tinubu hails from the South West region, the President has to be encouraged with the victory of the APC in the upcoming election.
He asked the members of the National Campaign Council of the APC, headed by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, to ensure a strong synergy and support by also making sure the party retains power in Ondo state.
“Ondo state will have to maintain this state for APC through democratic means. Also, Mr. President is from this geopolitical zone, in order to show our strength and appreciate him, this zone by the grace of God will be homogeneous in terms of party followership and governorship.
“How can your trousers be different from your agbada? It’s not attractive. It is not fashionable. Therefore, opportunity is now with your political zone, and the needful has to be done through democratic means.
“We urge you to mobilise members of our party to ensure that we win this election. We are here to encourage you, mobilise you, and encourage you. We are here to create an enabling environment so that the election will be free and fair. The election will be smooth, and by the grace of God, it will be victorious for our great party,” he said.
Speaking, Sanwo-Olu said the party will embark on issue-based campaign devoid of sentiment and abuse to win the election.
He added that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who is also the candidate of the APC in the election, had already made the job of the campaign council easier with the numerous projects initiated in the state by his administration.
“It will not be a campaign on sentiment or abuse but on issues because his excellency, Lucky Aiyedatiwa has made our job easier in the last 305 days. He has the compendium of projects that he has embarked on in his agenda for the people of the state.”
“I want to assure the citizens of Ondo state that they have not seen anything yet, they will still enjoy more dividence of democracy better than what they got four years ago. So, it is an honour and privilege to lead our party’s national campaign council,” he said.
