According to the statement, the group informed that it is the turn of the zone to produce Oyo next governor.
The statement further declared, “there is no going back on this. We have started mobilizing for his aspiration. Out of the aspirants from our region, he is the only one that has the capabilities to turn things around if given the chance to rule. We are not saying that others from here are not competent. Engr. Olaniyan, in our own opinion, stands the best chance, especially with his network across the state.
“We believe that God has answered our prayer the day Governor Abiola Ajimobi said it in Okeho. The governor knew what we did for him in 2015 and he openly said he wanted our son to succeed him. We have more capable hands to do the job. But given his experience in civil service and community development, we believe Engr. Aderemi Raufu Olaniyan is the best,” the statement added.
