”We called this meeting to advise that those who might be annoyed with the outcome of the last election should forget.

”Let’s forget the past and face the future, because the only thing that we need to do is to appeal to them to forget what anyone did during the past elections mainly because of Gov.Sanwo-Olu,” Ali-Balogun said.
