“The great Oshoko welcomed us with warmth and rare camaraderie. Thank you for your support and God bless you for hosting me and my team.”

Fayose said:
“Anybody looking for votes will visit anybody. It is within their rights to do so. Besides, it shows humility for the APC vice presidential candidate to visit the opposition.
“The visit shows the level of recognition and relevance that is accorded to me, and I have no apology about that. I am available if anyone comes to visit me.
“Don’t forget that I was governor at the same time as Tinubu. Besides, I have said that Asiwaju is a leader in the South West."
Fayose stated that his relationship cuts across various politicians while noting that he has received the Labour Party flagbearer, Peter Obi, and the vice presidential candidate of the PDP, Ifeanyi Okowa.
He also revealed that he also welcomed the current Ekiti state governor to his residence noting that he cannot run away from the opposition parties.
