Itsekiris, should also vote for Senator Ovie Omo - Agege, APC Governorship candidate for Delta State. Tinubu's positive message to Deltans, will be faster with Omo - Agege as our governor. As Ologbotsere, Chief Messenger of the people, I have spoken."

Sir Amorighoye, said: ‘’The APC Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu is one of us; he is tested and proven to be a man of vision and capacity. "We know him as a unifier. When he was governor of Lagos state; he had different nationalities in his cabinet. If given the opportunity as President, he will take Nigeria to the next level.
‘’Bola Tinubu is a man, who has built consensus across the country, and today the country is unanimous on the need to have a man who can strengthen the bond of unity across the country, which is why we are using this day of prayers to call on Nigerians, irrespective of religion to pray for the success of the general elections and all APC candidates running for different positions.

"We know when he becomes President, all the challenges Nigerians are going through, will be thing of the past, because he was an advocate for democracy, when democracy was threatened. In Nigeria today, in the face of scarcity of cash, Bola Tinubu is championing the cause of the common man by asking that the right thing be done to alleviate the suffering of the common man."
The Coordinator of APC Campaign for Delta South Senatorial District, Prince Yemi Emiko, on his part, expressed excitement with the prayer session organized by the Ologbotsere descendants.
Prince Emiko, also called on Nigerians to vote the APC presidential candidate.
He averred: " He (Tinubu) is a man who understands governance. He is tested and we know he will do better. He is not only a team player, but a team builder. Tinubu looks at values, not aesthetics. I advise Nigerians to vote wisely and choose Bola Tinubu."
