In November 2022, Onitiri had described returning the APC to power as a “second affliction.”
“Many politicians are now on the prowl to deceive Nigerian voters with all kinds of promises, both realistic and unrealistic.
“Will Nigerians allow themselves to be deceived again? God forbid a second affliction on this blessed country. The rescue mission is firmly in our hands,” he said at the time.
Meanwhile, a former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ade Dosunmu, also attended the forum.
He joined Onitiri in backing Sanwo-Olu’s reelection bid and joining the APC.
Dosunmu had left the PDP in May 2022 and joined the Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) after he lost the former’s governorship ticket.
