Are while speaking further, said that he was happy that the leadership of Afenifere had already endorsed Tinubu and Shettima.
He spoke further by saying that the people of the region must not lose sight of the centre, noting that Tinubu’s presidency offers the best opportunity for the region to be important stakeholders at the centre.
He said, “South West is crucial in the coming elections not only because of its status as the strongest base of the progressives in Nigeria but being home to the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju.
“And as such all the people of the region must take the elections with all seriousness and give their votes to Asiwaju, the son of the soil and our very best.
“I also made bold to say that our job has been made easy. The leadership of the Yoruba, the Afenifere leadership has already thrown its weight behind Asiwaju Tinubu and Shettima.
“While the various sub nationals are allowed to flourish in a true federal system, we must at the same time not lose sight of the centre. We must also be present at the centre. Asiwaju’s candidacy offers the best opportunity for us to be important stakeholders at the Centre.”
