He urged the people to support Isiaka’s governorship bid, noting that he remains the most credible and experienced candidate to lead the state.
The party national chairman warned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies against colluding with any party or group to manipulate the general elections.
According to him, ''It is time to say pack and go for this current government. A new tenant has arrived as approved by the people. With our votes, we will say pack and go.
''Somebody has been senator for four years and he has been governor for eight years and he still wants to install another person; does Ogun state belong to him?
''Our own party is for love and inclusion. We play politics of inclusion, love and brotherhood. You all know GNI (Isiaka); he is a gentleman. His heart is pure and he will give Ogun state the best development. ADC is the new spirit of Nigeria and it will help to bring new Nigeria.

''Nobody can stop our victory. Any INEC man that tries to stop it will go to jail. Any policeman that tries to stop it will go to jail. Any institutional authority that may want to disrupt the election will be dealt with.”
On his part, Isiaka promised to leverage on the potential of the state and take it to greater heights.
He vowed to expand the scope and opportunities for women and youths to excel just as he asked the people to collect their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) by Friday to enable them to exercise their civic responsibility at the polls.
The gubernatorial candidate, however, cautioned against any attempt to rig or undermine the elections, saying the people are determined and resolute to protect their votes.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the African Democratic Congress reacted to the alleged attack on the campaign convoy of its governorship candidate in Ogun state, Prince Gboyega Isiaka.
The party called on the authorities to fish out the culprits with immediate effect, frowning at what it called the ignoble culture of executive recklessness, intimidation and dictatorship prevalent in the Nigerian democratic space.
The party also insisted that the APC governor of Ogun state and President Muhammadu Buhari are to be held accountable for any loss of lives, and breach of peace, owing to the failure of security agencies in the state and beyond.
National publicity secretary of the ADC, Yemi Kolapo, said in a statement sent to journalists on Thursday, December 12, that such culture should not be allowed to further derail Nigeria’s fledgling democracy.
