They have been peaceful, we have no issues among ourselves, we are one, we are working together, and for the campaign, as I said, we are going to create a slot to make you an integral  part of our campaign.”

‎The Director General of the group in the Southwest, Alhaji Shehu  Jibrin-Sampam, described Oyebanji as a father to all Northerners in the Southwest, and acknowledged the appointment of some members of the Hausa community in his government.

‎He said the visit was to seek the support of Governor Oyebanji for the continuity of President Tinubu in the position of power till the year 2031.

‎He  promised to visit Ekiti and join the campaign for the re-election of the Governor, while also enlisting the support of members of the Hausa/Fulani Community in the state for the continuity of his administration
