The chairman of the campaign council and Governor of Kebbi State, Bagudu, who was represented by Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, at the inauguration, called for unity among all the stakeholders to ensure victory.
“We have faced enough of affront as a party. Challenge has been thrown to us not only by the PDP, but by Governor Ayo Fayose. So, we must be united to confront that challenge. We will give our all to ensure that we win Ekiti State for the APC,” he said.
