“I congratulate you on your appointment, I have received many support groups promoting the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari and this is good for the task ahead

“We should all work together to ensure that President Buhari wins, infact, we want to win with more votes this time around

“I want to urge our people to vote for President Buhari and all APC candidates, because when we have APC at the Federal and State levels, things will move forward

“Let us work hard for the party because when Buhari wins, Nigerians will enjoy and Ekiti people will also enjoy more dividends of democracy,” he said.

The State Coordinator of the group, Chief Abiodun Obayemi, said all hands were on deck to mobilise Nigerians to ensure victory for the APC.
