Kekemeke, a former Ondo State SSG and pioneer Board Chairman of National Examination Council (NECO), noted that the Southwest people would fully benefit from Asiwaju Tinubu’s presidency when they use their votes to install APC governors and state lawmakers in their respective states.

He expressed confidence in the ability and willingness of the President-elect to change the narration and reduce current hardship in the country as a result of naira scarcity.

Kekemeke also called on the Independent Electoral Commission, INEC, to create a level playing field for all candidates in the governorship and state House of Assembly elections , as it was done for candidates during the February 25 presidential election.
