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.

Be Inspired! A very poor woman called a radio station asking for help from God. A non-believer who was also listening to this radio program decided to make fun of the woman. He got the woman's address from the radio station and told his secretary to carry a large amount of foodstuff to the woman. However, he gave the following instruction; "When the woman asks who sent the food, tell her that it's from the devil." When the secretary arrived at the woman's house, the woman was happy and grateful for the help received. She started putting the food packets inside her small house. The secretary then asked her, "Don't you want to know who sent the food?" The woman replied, "No, I don't care... because when GOD orders, even the DEVIL obeys!
