Committees to ensure what happened to Awolowo, Abiola did not happen again - Kekemeke
Kekemeke said the two committees were constituted to ensure that what happened to the late Obafemi Awolowo and late MKO Abiola did not happen again.
His words:
“This is a lifetime chance to produce the President of Nigeria and we can’t afford to play with it as a party.
“As people in charge of managing the party in the zone, it has become a passion for us to deliver impressively to the APC.
“If the best, most experienced man with antecedents is from your zone, why won’t you be proud of him and won’t you tell your people to love themselves?”
Kekemeke added that the party would soon announce the six reconciliatory committees to visit the six states in the southwest toward rallying support for Tinubu.
