In a latest development on Monday, the APC Chairman of all Chairmen in Akoko South West Local Government Area of the State, Mr Oki Abiodun, expressed unfeigned interest in the governorship ambition of Funmilayo Waheed-Adekojo.
Oki who noted that no female politician had ever occupied the exalted seat in the state, called for more support for Funmilayo to emerge as the candidate of the party in the forthcoming primary election slated for April.
