"We don't mention APC in our (campaign) platform; we only mention Tinubu, and that's the project I want to deliver. It doesn't matter what it's going to cost me, even if it's of my mandate (re-election), I don't mind, "he said. "I want to conclude here that talking is not expensive. Let everyone go home and bring the results of their voting unit, deliver your constituency and deliver your local council. That's how elections are won."
