A leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and founder of the Coalition Movement for Àisiwa Bola Ahmed Tinubu (COMBAT), Senator Rilwan Adesoji Akanbi, has highlighted that Oyo State provided Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu with a surplus of 265,000 votes, the highest from any state.

In an exclusive interview reported by The Sun, the outspoken politician remarked on the substantial support Tinubu received in the 2023 presidential election.

Senator Akanbi asserted, “I initiated the COMBAT group in Oyo State, and it significantly contributed to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s surplus of 265,000 votes, the highest in the country.”

He added, “Despite our contributions, Oyo State has not been treated fairly. Our surplus of 265,000 votes was crucial in securing the victory.”
