“Asiwaju has done it before. He is experienced, truthful and can lead the country. He can do it better. Let’s vote for the intellectual. He knows the way, Let us follow the one that knows the way. Don’t follow those that are spreading lies. Cast your votes for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tiinubu as President on Saturday, February 25,” he said.
