“The people of the land showed unbridled excitement as they trooped out in support of their illustrious daughter,” a supporter noted.
Prominent Obas and elders of the land, showed up at the palace of the Zaki of Arigidi Akoko land where they gave the successful business mogul their blessings.
One after another, they praised her philanthropy to the people over the years and particularly hailed her for being a woman of integrity.
According to the Kabiyesi of Isua Akoko: “We are happy to have a woman running for Governor. We have highly educated people in Akoko and many illustrious sons and daughters who have proven that what a man can do, a woman can also do, if not better.”
