They said all steps to ensure survival of institutions of government by the current Federal Government are necessary to the attainment of restructuring goal.

The leaders hailed the governors and people of the South West for their abiding commitment to Nigeria and efforts for restructuring.

In a communique signed by Senator Ayo Fasanmi, among other leaders after the meeting, they advised Nigerians to stand by Buhari and return him to office in 2019 for the next generation to be empowered and enjoin the gains of the fight against corruption.

The leaders said support for Buhari will create an opportunity for the next generation to be strengthened and to be able to chart a prosperous course for Nigeria from 2019 and beyond.

The leaders also said the summit of the Yoruba people holding in Ibadan, Oyo State capital on January 2019 will address strategy to protect interest of the South West geo-political zone ahead of 2019 general elections.

They said the summit would further address issues and plans to ensure victory for the All Progressives Congress which the leaders said will guarantee lives in abundance for Yoruba people and Nigerians.

Guess the APC will also call them paid agents too? Many SW influential people and leaders of thought like Gani Fawenmi, Bisi Onabanjo, Tai Solarin, Fela, Ambrose Ali, departed NADECO stalwarts etc will really be turning in their graves.
