He said, “Ondo is known as progressive state, followed by other states like Ogun, Oyo, and I appreciate our progressive governors. This incoming election is our own; it is the vote of inheritance. It is vote of three in one. Don’t lose your PVC; your PVC is your right.
“Our rally today is a signal of our renewed hope for Nigeria, that February 25, you will go and make a wise decision, you will vote massively for me, I’m too sure and very sure that you will vote for APC and that’s why I’m very happy.
“I will win this election. Atiku cannot do it; he doesn’t want to build a better nation instead he will rather sell your birthright to the highest bidders. Atiku’s policies and action are nothing.
“Obi has a chance to show up a progressive when he was a governor of Anambra State. All he could do was to boast that he saved money when he was the governor of Anambra State.

However, Chief Dele Momodu, Director, Strategic Communications of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, has stated that the lack of quality in the APC Campaign Organisation’s campaigns is the reason why most ruling party chieftains, including President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), are not campaigning for Tinubu.JAMB portal
Momodu stated this in a brief message released over the weekend.
The statement read, “It is obvious that the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and many senior APC chieftains are palpably embarrassed about the quality of their presidential campaigns which has been extremely lacklustre.
“Their candidate has failed miserably to even sell his own manifesto. It has been one gaffe after the other. To the President, Major General Buhari’s credit, he was able to put up a robust defence when he was accused of some shortcomings in the past.
“In Tinubu’s case, his team has resorted only to bullying opposition and the media without offering responsible explanations to very serious accusations and allegations.
“The social media is awash with incredibly embarrassing jokes and comedy skits about a once ebullient and well respected South-West political icon.
“It is therefore not surprising that the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) has been foot-dragging in campaigning alongside a candidate who has brought them more grief than glory.NYSC portal
Meanwhile, the South West Agenda for Asiwaju leadership has asked Tinubu supporters to avoid fighting at polling stations in order to avoid void votes.
SWAGA’s national head, Opayemi Owodunni, stated this during a meeting in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, as part of a mobilisation drive for Tinubu in the upcoming election.
Owodunni said, “The new rule from INEC is that once there is violence at any polling unit, even if you just raised your hand up or cause trouble, they will cancel all the votes that have been cast.
“So, please, comport yourself whenever it’s time to vote. Some people will be looking for ways to create conflict in order to spoil our votes. They know Asiwaju will win; so, please, vote with wisdom.”
In a related development, Inuwa Kari, the Director of Contact Mobilisation for Tinubu/Shettima, North-East Zone, Gombe State Chapter, believes APC governors will back Tinubu regardless of ethnicity.
Kari made the remarks shortly after a brief meeting with members of the directorate in Gombe, where the team discussed effective mobilisation ahead of the 2023 elections.
Kari, who also serves as Gombe State Governor’s Chief of Staff, said the North had honourable people and would not break its word, adding that governors on the APC platform had already committed to support the South in the spirit of justice.
He claimed that the PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has nothing else to promote himself with besides tribe.JAMB Result
