“I want to thank all those who put in the work to ensure a successful and memorable programme. With over 200 delegates from the six states in South Western Nigeria in attendance, I must say it is indeed a testament to the belief these political stalwarts have in the noble cause we are committed to. It was indeed a day of superb display of passion an action and of course gratitude to Almighty who made the day possible and the programme a success.
“I thank each and every delegate for gracing the programme and for their total dedication and commitment to a worthy and noble cause.
