He added: “We thank you for your support. I’ve gone round to consult. The time has come that we will move, and we will go to where God is leading us. “Do not be afraid. Believe in us.

Believe in President Bola Tinubu because the future is bright. We are already a minority state in Nigeria. “If we come again and start breaking ourselves into pieces, we become the minority of the minorities and cannot get anything.”
