A governorship aspirant in Ogun State, Ambassador Sarafa Tunji Isola, has urged his supporters to remain calm, steadfast and confident, while he embarked on wide consultations over the announcement of Senator Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, as the consensus candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the state.

Isola, a former Nigerian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, in a release issued and signed on Tuesday, said he is actively engaging in broad and meaningful consultations with critical stakeholders and respected voices across the political and social landscape of the State.

He noted that as a democrat and one who is deeply committed to the values of inclusiveness, consultation, and responsible leadership, consultations are essential to ensuring that every decision taken is not only strategic, but also reflective of the collective interest, aspirations, and stability of our people.
