In Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, All Progressives Congress (APC) members organized a sizable gathering on Wednesday under the banner of “Asiwaju Walk.”
According to Anaedoonline.ng, Dapo Lam-Adesina, the son of Lam Adesina, the former governor of the state, organized the demonstration to show support for Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate.
Akin Alabi, the congressman who represents the Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency, tweeted pictures from the event on Thursday through his verified Twitter account.

He tweeted, “Jungle don dey mature for Oyo o!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣”
