According to him, “I have told Ooni that whenever we want to start campaign, we would come to Ile-Ife. We, in the APC have the genuine interest of the nation at heart.”
Osinbajo, who spoke in Yoruba language stated that “we are for the progress of Yorubaland and this has been the interest of Ooni over a long period of time.”
“Yorubaland will not retrogress. We need to collaborate for the success of the nation. No country in the world can record any progress if its leaders are corrupt and dishonest. Buhari is honest and his enemies and detractors are aware of this”, he asserted.
In his remark, Ooni of Ife, Oba Ogunwusi described Osinbajo as the pride of Yorubaland, just he prayed for the success of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
Osinbajo later proceeded on a door-to-door campaign to Hausa community at Sabo, in Ile-Ife and the palace of Ogunsua of Modakeke, Oba Moses Oyediran.
