The legislators, who were elected into the House of Assembly in 2015 from Accord, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Labour Party (LP), said they were not in doubt that “ADC is a government-in-waiting,” judging by what they called ADC’s “phenomenal spread” in the state.
Chief Koleoso told Nigerian Tribune after the meeting that in Ibadan on Wednesday, said the group was concerned about how the things had been in the state in almost eight years and became convinced that the state deserved a people-oriented government in 2019.
