He said: “We have six states in the South-West where the seat was zoned. Ekiti is the only one opposing it. As we always say, the majority had their way and the minority had their say. That’s all.
“I came to present or reintroduce Senator Ajimobi, whom the South-West nominated into the position of Deputy National Chairman, to Mr President. He has filled the vacancy created when Mr President appointed Adebayo as a minister.
“The President was excited and delighted to see him as one who will bring his wealth of experience to bear on the party”.
