…Says no one wants failure
Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has urged Nigerians not to abandon the ruling party ahead of the 2023 election, as according to him, nobody wants failure.
Tinubu stated this at the funeral service of the Late mother of the Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, Lady Evangelist Grace Akeredolu, which was held at the Cathedral Church of St Andrew’s, Imola, Owo.
He assured Nigerians the “APC would do better”. He said, “Thank God we are alive, there might be weaknesses and inadequacies in expectation. “No one wants failure. You cannot give up on us. We will do better. We will contribute to the improvement you might want”, he stated.
Earlier in his sermon, Revd. Stephen Ayodeji Fagbemi, lamented that “The poor are getting poorer; Nigeria needs a change that will ensure safety and security in villages”. He told Tinubu that God has placed him where he is going to make a difference. The cleric urged Governor Akeredolu and his siblings to immortalise their mother because she lived a life of service to God and humanity.
President Muhammadu Buhari, speaking through the Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo, said the life of the mother of the Ondo Governor deserved celebration.
Governor Akeredolu, in a response to the sermon, said there were crops of politicians in the South-West that the people could be very proud of. The governor expressed optimism that the Osun State governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, would emerge victorious at the tribunal.
Other dignitaries present at the service include, Governors of Ogun, Prince Dapo Abiodun; Lagos, Babajide Sanwo-Olu; Osun, Gboyega Oyetola and Oyo, Engr. Seyi Makinde, represented by his wife, Olufunke.
