In his response, Asiwaju Oyetola commended Hon. Wole Oke and members of the Campaign Council for their sense of responsibility, discipline, and commitment to due process, describing their approach as commendable and reflective of true progressive ideals.
He charged the team to adopt practical, grassroots-driven strategies that will resonate with the people, stressing the need for effective voter engagement and message discipline.
“Our success lies in connecting directly with the people. You must intensify grassroots mobilization and ensure that our message is clear, factual, and people-centered,” he advised.
