“Surprisingly, some people among us here went to meet the governor to tell him that Alh Gafari has promised Adeoti that he will go for Senate and have concluded a plan to make Senator Oriolowo a Governor. No political position or appointment was discussed at the meeting at all. We told the party leaders in the meeting that Alh Adeoti is a must have element in APC party.”

Alhaji continued: “Gboyega Oyetola should do his second term. After his second term, in 2026, we pray God to spare our lives till then Iwo will produce the governor by God’s grace. I am happy there are some people here that we had a meeting with Governor Oyetola a few weeks ago, we told him that his second chance in Iwoland has no objection.”
“We told governor Oyetola that in 2026 they should not think to go any other district or constituency than Iwo Federal Constituency. Iwo must be the one to produce the Governor after your second term. We have had 3 to 5 meetings on this Iwo must produce the next governor after the second term of Gboyega Oyetola. We would still keep talking about it. The party will not want to ignore Iwoland again. After Oyetola’s second term, Iwoland will produce the next governor.” He concluded.
