“I remember when he came out in the last election as governorship candidate, he came to me and he told me about his ambition and we supported him.
“Later on the run, the now Governor of State of Osun, Gboyega Oyetola called him to seek for support and he told Ibiyemi that after his own tenure, he will support him to become governorship candidate of the party.
“I could recall that it was all over the news that Ibiyemi stepped down for Oyetola so as to support him and see today, how he is supporting Oyetola with good intentions in the state, After Oyetola, we will support him for the gubernatorial seat, he is a true son of Ile-Ife and I pray God will continue to support him,” Adewoyin said.
