The Forum of Former House of Assembly Members in Ondo State has vowed to gather a minimum of one million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming January elections.

The forum also credited Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, for his role in rallying party members across the state for the rally. According to a statement from the forum, the turnout showcased residents' solidarity and dedication to the gathering.

They attributed this to the party members, supporters, and residents' confidence in Tinubu's leadership and support for his Renewed Hope Agenda. The former lawmakers resolved to contribute to the party's mobilisation efforts before the election, expressing their intention to ensure the state achieves the one-million vote target for Tinubu.

They highlighted Tinubu's policies and programmes, emphasizing his commitment to national development, economic growth, and improving the quality of life.
