It is our right to revalidate our membership but let us do it in the spirit of sportsmanship,” Oyedele said
She emphasised that the responsibility of leaders of the party was to mobilize members for the exercise, noting that politics is a game of numbers and not a social gathering nor club.
“In fact, the benefits of politics is not for the people in power alone, but the collective of our responsibility through being part of the revalidation exercise and become bonafide member of the party. Part of which include appointments, I am glad to say Ogun West has benefited in the present administration of Prince Dapo Abiodun,” Oyedele said
