“Ugbo Ward Four came out in large numbers to exercise one of their civic rights by voting for the re-election of our President, the leader of our party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

“Let me use this opportunity to thank Mr President for allowing a level playing ground for all aspirants in this contest, right from the National Assembly to the State Assembly and the presidential primary as well.

“We know we have two aspirants that have been cleared by the party to contest for this position.

“Here, the president won handsomely. The entire APC members here in Ugbo Ward IV voted for Mr President,” he said.
