  We have been made aware of a malicious and deceptive statement released by Cacus 7202, a group falsely claiming to have canvassed votes for our esteemed Senator Solomon Adeola Olamilekan Yayi. This group has the audacity to warn supporters of our distinguished Senator against attending events organized by any other group, claiming they are the only authorized body that can organize events in support of our senator. Let us be crystal clear: this is a blatant lie, and we will not stand idly by while Cacus 7202 tries to deceive and manipulate innocent people.

Their failure to do so will only confirm their...
