“I want to let you know that the governor is always after the welfare of the leadership of the party in the state. This is going to be the first time he will be giving a parting gift to the outgoing chairman and the incoming chairman a welcoming gift.


“This is a remarkable development and I believe the party will continue to progress in the state. It is a good thing that other governors from other states must copy. We pray that the tenure of the incoming chairman will engender unity and progress for the party.


“Indeed, we really need to thank God for everything the government is doing in the state. We have a governor who has good agenda for the party.”


In their various reactions, the duo of Hon. Ogungbenro and Alhaji Mustapha thanked Governor Makinde for his magnanimity.
The duo promised to remain focused and to protect the party from the threat of external forces.
