Direct Statement.
“We thank God for the tour that started on Saturday. We were able to go around seven local governments, saying a major ‘thank you’ to our traditional institution led by our traditional rulers, because we know they are the custodians of our communities and the gatekeepers of the people we stand to represent.” She said.
“The reception has been great, and we love how they have received us as we move towards victory in 2027. The warmth from both traditional leaders and party faithfuls shows that our party is marching steadily toward victory.” Oyeyemi added.
The statewide ‘Thank You’ tour, which featured state party leaders, governorship candidate and Assembly Speaker Rt. Hon.
