“This grassroots movement underscores our collective belief in the leadership and the transformative policies that Governor Aiyedatiwa has implemented since he assumed office,” they said.
The group noted that Governor Aiyedatiwa has consistently prioritised youths and women empowerment in his administration, adding that his initiatives include appointment of over 100 female aides into key positions, ensuring that women’s voices are heard and represented in governance.
