“He is a clear testimony to the fact that APC parades the best governors who have gone ahead to demonstrate capacity, character and competence in their various states.
“It is our hope that His Excellency, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu will record more beautiful milestones in infrastructural transformation, education, economic, sports, housing and transportation system revitalization,” Bamigbade
