"As the Southwest Coordinator of the Atiku Presidential Campaign, who is committed to the task of enthroning a PDP government in 2019, Fayose has insisted on coming to Ibadan today, to prepare for tomorrow's campaign rally and he is on his way to the ancient city."
The former governor is the southwest coordinator for the presidential campaign of former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, who's contesting in the February 16, 2019 presidential election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
