Speaking on the occasion, Chief Johnson Adeyelu, the leader of the Yoruba community said: “We’ve come here to express our gratitude to you (Chime) for the good works you’ve been doing in the state. For us as Yoruba, we’ve never had it this good. We thank you because we’ve not experienced any kind of discrimination.

“The only way we can pay you back is to vote for you massively during the April 16 elections and be rest assured that you’ll get our votes.”
