Wasiu Agoro, Chairman, Imota LCDA and Comrade Japheth Odesanya, former Secretary to the Ikorodu Local Government among others.
The mobile rally was massive and it saw hundreds of party members in Ikorodu Constituency I, moving from Ogolonto in Ikorodu West through Agric, Ikorodu garage roundabout to connect Sabo, Itamaga, Ijede and Gintin joined forces with the Ikorodu Constituency II team.
