I know you are all ready to deliver victory for APC presidential candidate. I want to admonish you to work assiduously in canvassing support for Tinubu who has the capacity in delivering good governance”.
Speaking, Mr Oyetunde Ojo, said, “Asiwaju has the capacity and good health to be the next president, he has been touring the country for months now without failing.
