He expressed gratitude to the people of the State, particularly the loyalists of the party and the Youth Wing for their continued support and love for Asiwaju.
“I urge you all to remain resolute and faithful in God as necessary steps had been taken within the ambit of the law to retrieve the mandate willingly given to him,”he said
He described Bola Tinubu as the only candidate who has all what it takes to rule the country and succeed adding that he’s a man full of track records.
“There is no doubt that Asiwaju remains the best among the contestants. He is a man of unbeatable tract records. As we all know, he did well in Lagos. There are lot of things to attribute to him as his achievements,”he said
“It is on record that his indelible legacies live on as he set the State on the pedestal of sustainability and prosperity. God used him to turn around the economy of Lagos. A lot of pro-masses institutions and agencies were launched during his tenure and these are still very much alive to the use and goodness of the people of Lagos in particular and Nigerians at large.
“He has set agenda for the progress of Lagos and I am confident that this will be replicated at the centre when he becomes President. He has done a lot and he is ready to do more. As productive and energetic youths, it is our belief that the scourge of unemployment and other related vices will be a thing of the past as soon as he resumes office.”
