“I must commend the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) under the able leadership of Professor Mahmood Yakubu for presiding over an election in a country with the largest democracy in the African continent. It is a job well planned and professionally executed. INEC under Prof Yakubu has done exceptionally well.
“Allow me to use this medium to appeal to all eligible voters to come out en masse and exercise your civic duty by voting for APC in the March 18, 2023 Governorship and States Houses of Assembly elections across the country. Your vote is very important because it has the power to make a difference and consolidate on the wise choice made during the Presidential election.
“At this juncture, I say with all sense of responsibility that our collective future is assured under the renewed hope vision and mission of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I believe the President-elect is a man of capacity, empathy, vision, and all that it takes to lead Nigeria to the promised land.
Therefore, I encourage all Nigerians to vote for the APC in the forthcoming governorship elections at the state level so that the APC can have a majority at all levels. Do not be part of the minority opposition as we already have the APC at the Centre. Continuity has been achieved at the Federal level with the emergence of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the President-Elect from the APC. Therefore, for effective policy implementation, progress’ security and development of our country, also vote APC at the state level. Nigeria shall be great by the Grace of God.”
