“We are here today, first to show solidarity with Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode ahead of the primary and to say we are solidly behind him. We are also here to show our resentment over the partial role the leadership is playing in the process, especially with the endorsement of  Sanwo-Olu’.

“We want to say the party leadership have already compromised the process even before the primary. We do not believe in the process and we want the national leadership to do its best to make the primary credible,” they declared .
