According to Are:  “As a Lagosian, foremost follower of Asiwaju and Director, Contact and Mobilization for South West, I am highly elated with the huge turnout. It is massive and unprecedented. It is a clear demonstration of our love for Asiwaju who has done so much for the growth and development of our dear state. It is a confirmation of the fact that Lagos would vote en-masse for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Sanwo Olu and all the candidates of All Progressives Congress in the next year’s elections.

“I commend the commitment and dedication of the Senator Solomon Ganiyu led Campaign council for Lagos State, their dexterity in organization and management manifested clearly in the success of the rally. With the outcome, they have really further established that Lagos is indeed the Centre of Excellence.

“I thank the good people of Lagos for this show of love to the next President of Nigeria. I am passionately appealing to them and the entire electorate of Lagos to keep showing the love and vote massively for Tinubu in the presidential election of February 25, 2023. He will surely do well for Lagos and other states of Nigeria. Like he did while serving Lagos, Tinubu will make all of us Lagosians more proud as the President of Nigeria”.
