“We are one big family and all hands are needed on the deck to sustain the good fortunes of this party. Let God decide what happens in 2027. It is normal for us as politicians to engage in conversations and engagements towards the politics of 2027, but I advise we do so with caution. We should not preempt God in these conversations.
“Our full gaze should be on our leader, Prince Dapo Abiodun. Let’s surrender the politics of 2027 to God’s will. I know noone can interfere with God’s plan.”
“I can assure you that you’re genuinely welcomed back to the APC. There won’t be any discrimination in our Party in Imeko Afon. We are all one now. It is important we stay united in order to achieve the desired goals of the party and to continue the progressive governance in our state.” he submitted.
