Sanwo-Olu said the All Progressives Congress (APC) flagbearer “is a proud son of the race and one of the most formidable politicians to have ever emerged from Africa”.

The Lagos helsman, however, noted that the Ojude Oba reminds that evil will never triumph over good.

He said the festival had stayed true to its Islamic roots, expanded to become a unifying symbol and occasion for people of all faiths and tribes.

”We must never lose sight of this unifying element, especially at a time when the forces of division seem to be working to undermine all that we cherish”, Sanwo-Olu added.
