He enjoined the electorate not to be swayed by desperate politicians.

Lana while addressing the party supporters, further alleged that desperate politicians are out to deceive the people.

Lana said, “I have no doubt in my mind that our party, the during

SDP would coast home to victory in Oyo State during the elections as the people are eagerly waiting to send the present government of Governor Seyi Makinde packing from the Agodi Government House as it has not only to disappoint the people by succeeding in moving the state backwards”.
