Speaking, the APC Chairman, Isaac Omodewu who described Mrs Ajimobi as his mother said the party would do all within its power to ensure victory for all its candidates in the coming election.

He seized the opportunity of the event to appeal to the wife of the late governor to provide the leadership that is required for the party to ensure victory for the party across board in the 2023 elections from the presidency to the state assembly, saying Mrs Ajimobi remains the mother of the party.

He further appealed to the members to come together for the task saying “nobody can do it alone. We have to work together for us to achieve our aim by the special grace of God. I’m using this opportunity to appeal to all the women to cooperate with our mother, she has done it before, she is still doing it and we can see that she will still do it. We have confidence in her to lead us to deliver and achieve electoral success come 2023.”
