He said:

"Yes, I believe so because most Nigerians are looking for a leader that can really change things in the country for the better, that can really move the country forward and would really solve the myriad of problems which are confronting us as a nation."

Speaking on why he believes Tinubu is the best the southwest could offer in 2023, Adeyeye said the former Lagos state governor has paid his dues in Nigeria's political space.

He said Tinubu's government ensured fairness and equity in Lagos for everybody, stressing that he even brought people from other ethnic groups to governance in Lagos.
