Prince Adewole Adebayo, another aspirant within the party praised his colleague’s action, adding that her examplary action should be emulated. He said people like her should be encouraged to offer themselves for service of their country. ” I have learned a lot from her and have seen that Nigeria is blessed with talents.
I consider myself as a person who is after leadership and I was immediately self-indicting that how come I didn’t know her before now? When I saw the demographic following Cesnabmihilo Dorathy Nuhu-Aken’Ovia, her mastery of issues, I thought to myself I have a fresh voice contender to contend with. And she made me to be more serious, to be more detailed and to go down the grassroot, because while we were doing press conferences and so many other practical things, she was penetrating the communities. I appreciate this important gesture of hers. I salute her courage and it should be emulated”.
