Ojo, charged President Tinubu on the need to consider Ekiti people, particularly the physical challenged, less privileged and some capable Nigerians respectively in his administration, expressed confidence in him to give the best to the people as former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
“Consequently, everything in that government (immediate past government), he knows and governance is not new to him. The administration is going to be very smooth for him by the grace of God.
