Wife of Oyo State governor, Mrs Florence Ajimobi, on Wednesday distributed food items to Muslims, expressing optimism that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will reclaim power in 2023.
She tasked members of the party to align with the dictates of the leadership of the party, not minding how unpalatable it looked if the party was to reclaim government in 2023.
Speaking while distributing food items to residents of the state for the Ramadan period at Government House, Ibadan, she solicited support for leaders of the party was more essential than ever, especially as the party goes into the opposition from May 29.
She expressed belief that with undiluted loyalty to party leaders and God’s grace, the APC would again become the ruling party come 2023.
Mrs Ajimobi added that the Ramadan season offered another opportunity for all party faithful to introspect into their lifestyles with a view to making amends, changing their attitudes, giving to and forgiving one another.
“APC will reclaim government in 2023 by God’s grace. But, let us align with the dictates of the party, even if they seem unpalatable. We must support our party leaders. We must be loyal to one another as party members particularly now that we will be in opposition,” she said.
Aside from fasting and abstinence, Mrs Ajimobi described Ramadan as a time for people to seek repentance, to seek God’s favour, to show love to others.
She allayed fears of a discontinuance of the distribution of food items during forthcoming Ramadan seasons, noting that despite leaving office as wife of the governor on May 29, the event of next year will be held at her Oluyole private residence.
“By next Ramadan fasting, I will host you in my Oluyole home and God will enable us to continually do this,” she added.
