Speaking at the take off of the training program for the various levels of registration supervisors at the APC State Secretariat in Oke Ado Ibadan yesterday, Hon.

I am highly convinced that our party will regain Oyo State in 2023. I can see that the process of winning the state in 2023 has already begun”
An online portal had earlier in the day reported a non existence crisis in the registration exercise alleging that the Senators from the state had hijacked the registration exercise.
The committee Chairman supported by its Secretary ,Barrister Yakubu Bashiru and a veteran journalist and member of the committee Mallam Ahmed Sajoh in the comprehensive training explained the various processes of the exercise as well as the obligations and responsibilities of the supervisors which he said must be observed strictly.
Specifically, Alhaji Bawa Bwari admonished the supervisors at the various levels to avoid discrimination and exclusion and that they “must be responsible and respectful in their dealings with prospective party members.
