According to him: “I understand the challenges of this period for you. I remember my campaign for the 1999 election, I covered the entire six states of the South West in one day.
“I think we started in Akure, Ondo State here, then to Ekiti and we got to Lagos around 8pm. This is a crucial part of the process and I wish you all the best.”
The Governor praised Obasanjo’s contributions to the nation’s development, describing them as indelible.
He also highlighted Obasanjo’s humility and humanity, noting that despite his high profile and military background, he has remained a grounded and compassionate leader.
