“We are not participating in the 2019 governorship election in the state, UPN as party of the masses with blueprint to provide good governance to the people, has been our searchlight across the length and breadth of Ogun State to look for a credible governorship candidate whose manifesto is in line with our party ideology and philosophy of our founder,the Sage,Chief Obafemi Awolowo of providing free education and qualitative healthcare system for the citizens,” he said.
