party for the current, the All Progressives Congress, APC in Lagos State, Daily

Olorogun-Etti, on behalf of the decampees identified
fair-mindedness, critical trust building, and good gatekeeping as virtues
possessed by the former governor of Lagos State and All Progressives Congress
(APC) National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
They also praised him for respecting the needs of Lagos
people, demonstrating democratic efficacy,
finding peaceful resolutions to
conflicts and enhancing the legitimacy of democratic institutions in Nigeria.
At a well-attended ceremony in Lagos Island, Olorogun-Etti,
Hon Muiz Aregbe-Obanikoro and others described the former governor as the best
politician in the country.
They also praised him for making the south-west part of
mainstream politics in Nigeria
“In a lot of ways, he’s a very good politician. He has a
fine political mind and a real commitment to public service. He is a man of
real talent and real principle.” they said.
Placing a high premium on loyalty, the new APC members
promised to deliver the party’s message faithfully and sincerely and to toe the
party line.

they said.
