On behalf of the South-West governors, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu commended the delegates for their patience and loyalty, describing the congress as a model for the country. He urged the party to continue following its constitution and rules of engagement and expressed confidence that the new zonal executive would steer the party to success in the 2027 elections.
In response, Kekemeke thanked party leaders for entrusting the team with this responsibility and pledged to secure victory for the APC in the upcoming gubernatorial elections in Ekiti and Osun.
