Governor Wike used the opportunity to appeal to the residents in the state to support the second-term ambition of the Governor Makinde, says he had ended his relationship with the All Progressives Congress (APC) after the 25 February presidential election.

"There’s no relationship with anybody again,” Mr Wike said in Oyo State, apparently referring to his brief endorsement and support for his preferred candidate. He said.

“The only relationship we have on 11 March is umbrella. Nothing like broom. Broom had ended Saturday, last week,” he added.

An umbrella is the party logo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), while the broom is the party logo of the All Progressive Congress, the APC.
