“I know you are all ready to deliver victory for APC presidential candidate.

“I want to admonish you to work assiduously in canvassing support for Tinubu, who has the capacity in delivering good governance.

“Tinubu is a good product and he is an answer to our prayers. He did it in Lagos and he will do it again in the country,” she said.

Famodun urged all members of the committee and APC in Southwest to the grassroots to campaign for Tinubu and his running mate, Shettima.

“Tinubu has the capacity and good health to be the next president of the country. He has been touring the country for months now without failing.

“I want to urge you to go back to your grassroots with this gospel. Take the campaign of Tinubu to traditional rulers and religion leaders across the state.
