They equally expressed support for Gboyega Nasir Isiaka for the House of Representatives, as part of a broader strategy to secure electoral victories for the party at all levels.
The group called on the State Working Committee to take note of their resolution and provide the necessary support to strengthen internal cohesion and democratic processes within the party in Imeko-Afon.
The communiqué concluded that the resolution was adopted without dissent, reflecting the collective will of APC leadership in the Ketu Zone, with optimism that Akingbade Jemili would deliver quality representation and further strengthen the party’s foothold in the area.
