Omo-Agege also called on Nigerians to support Tinubu and other APC candidates at all levels in the forthcoming polls.

He advised Tinubu to be magnanimous in victory, Omo-Agege urged all presidential aspirants to join hands with the party’s presidential candidate to ensure victory for the APC.
“Not everyone gave APC a chance to conduct a free, fair, credible presidential primary. With the undercurrents in the buildup, some had predicted that our great party would go into extinction after this convention,” the statement reads.
“But with the transparent process that saw the emergence of Asiwaju Tinubu as our party standard bearer, I am confident more than ever before that this is the beginning of even greater tidings for our party.
“We proved our critics wrong. We have shown that with unity of purpose, the sky is our starting point.”
