Recall that Legit.ng also reported that Tinubu berated the administration of the ex-governor of the state, Akinwunmi Ambode.

He said the ugly development led to the decision by political leaders to bring Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Obafemi Hamzat on board.

Tinubu stated that though there was scepticism about Sanwo-Olu and Hamzat, they have not disappointed the people of the state.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that Akeem Adeyemi, a federal lawmaker representing Oyo East, asked Nigerians to support the 2023 presidency bid of the APC national leader.
