“We did it in 2015 and 2019, and with much more experience, we will do it again in 2023, in sha Allah!”

@DeeOneAyekooto said: “I’m extremely happy especially for the appointment of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode as the Director of New Media for TINUBU-SHETTIMA 2023. This is a round peg in a round hole! The battle has just begun.”

@Woye1 said: “APC Presidential Campaign Council’s list. @OfficialAPCNg did not shun @ProfOsinbajo at all. Where you have @MBuhari you have PYO. Some of the members on that list will still delegate their responsibilities to other people behind the scene. No rift in APC.”
