Osinbajo, accompanied by the state Governor , Dapo Abiodun, as part of his consultations with stakeholders ahead of the 2023 presidential election in which he had declared interest to run.
.Alake said “every president from this part of the country that has passed through here has succeeded in becoming the president.
“Every time the vice-president has passed here and gone for something competitive, he has always won; this will not be an exception.
“By the grace of God, our vice-president has paid his dues; he has gone through serving others and has been winning colours all the way.
“He had the same subjects in high school like I had and won laurels.
“In the university, through his research work, and in the legal practice, he has been most outstanding.
“Why should we not ask you for just one more position to the glory of God, and for the benefit of all Nigerians and you will say `no’? Certainly, not here.
He prayed that Osinbajo’s next visit to the palace would be a “thank you’’ visit after his victory at the poll.
