He was everywhere, asking voters not to re-elect BTO. His election-related posts and comments against Tunji-Ojo are still available on his Facebook page.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are aware that prior to the swearing-in, the governor deliberately refused to announce Muhammed\u2019s appointment in order to avoid backlash and rejection from the people of Akoko.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe governor went ahead and swore him in because he knew his appointment could not be reversed after the swearing-in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Aiyedatiwa, who is currently building a new structure in Akoko, believes Muhammed is capable of delivering Akoko for him, we wish him well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, if Aiyedatiwa\u2019s men in Akoko denigrate BTO, they will face resistance. The Minister of Interior is not only a shining light for the party and the APC but also an illustrious son in Akokoland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The group appealed to the national leaders of the APC to call Aiyedatiwa to order to save the party and the state from political turmoil.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
