The APC guber nominee said despite the result announced by the electoral body, he felt Ibarapa zone remains one of the political stronghold quarter of the progressive in Oyo state hence the need to appreciate the party members and entire people of Ibarapa for their unflinching support.

According to him, “I believe I am the best candidate for the APC in the last general election and we are committed to general wellbeing of the people of Oyo state but somehow our mandate was diverted.
