“We have been canvassing for votes everywhere, and the majority of them here are only the leaders because if all of them come here, this area cannot hold them,” she stated.

“Therefore, we are now requesting that their leaders and some of the members of the group come here and publicly announce that they have decided to abandon the PDP and the LP and are ready to support Tinubu and Shettima.

“We have seen the light in Tinubu, and we are prepared to work with him to get our nation to the desired level. I am confident that, if given the opportunity, he will do much for the nation considering how he transformed Lagos.

Consequently, together with our throngs of supporters, including women and young people, we decide to switch from the PDP to the APC.
