Adekanmbi further called on citizens to participate actively and peacefully in the democratic process and make informed choices based on vision, competence and values, as presented by the APM.
On Oyo State, the APM governorship candidate appealed to residents to continue supporting the administration of Governor Seyi Makinde, saying the governor’s projects and programmes were helping the state maintain its status as the Pacesetter State.
