Speaking at Iperu-Remo country home of Governor Abiodun, Fatoki said his group is made up of experienced politicians from different political parties.

“This team is a complete team. Our members cut across different parties who had held at least one political post in the past.

“We are not here to demand for anything but here to work for the governor. The party will win even after Governor Abiodun’s next four years. We know that whether we join the APC or not, the party will still win, so it is better we join now,” Fatoki said.
