Adeleke said, “These two fine gentlemen may not have been treated right, especially in Lagos where Ambode was not given fair treatment in his quest to secure the ticket of APC at the primaries to run for a second term.
“Today, Lagos people still deeply appreciate his modest efforts to improve their lives in various sectors, with his numerous legacy projects bearing his beautiful signature.
“In Osun as well, His Excellency Gboyega Oyetola is still a strong force to reckon with as the people are craving for his return to government house. The APC government raised governance to a new high which was manifestly seen in the livelihood.
“The return of these two leaders to government is at the heart of development. We need to galvanize our support for them to ensure that we put our region on the pedestal of uninterrupted development. It will start with putting efforts together to make sure they return to government”, he said.
The group also commended the governors of Ogun, Ekiti and Ondo states for making the states proud with effective leadership with the APC is known for.
It also reiterated its commitment to APC to take back Oyo state from the PDP in order to connect the people to the national government.
The group also called for the support of all Nigerians to ensure that President Bola Tinubu is overwhelmingly supported for a second term in office.
