He said he has the support of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu to contest for the office of National Vice-Chairman (Southwest).
According to him, “This convention is quite challenging for the APC because of the many contending tendencies and interests. This is not unusual in any political party. I believe that our leaders and our Governors are up to the task.
“The bigger job is for the post-convention leadership to have the requisite capacity to fairly and sincerely rejig the party. The APC needs a competent, experienced, large-hearted, nonsectional and cool-headed somebody as Chairman.”
