I don’t have a doubt that our issues will be resolved; they are internal issues. I’m sure that the governor of Ogun State will be at our flag-off and I’m sure that he will be raising my hand up as the candidate of the party.
“It’s not unusual for us to have internal wrangling in a primary election or election matter. But I’m convinced that there is a lot of time between now and elections and we have a mechanism within our party that we use to settle disputes. The election is less than 80 days away and I’m sure and confident that between now and that time, all the issues relating to our state executive will be resolved,” he assured.
