Coker reaffirmed her commitment to supporting the governorship candidate in securing victory for the APM in the 2027 governorship election.
She equally appreciated the leadership of the party at the national, state, local government, ward and polling unit levels, as well as other stakeholders and candidates, for their encouragement and unwavering support.
The deputy governorship candidate also commended members of the party’s campaign team, volunteers and supporters for their dedication, sacrifices and prayers, noting that their contributions would remain vital to the party’s success.
She extended her appreciation to her family, friends and associates for standing by her throughout her political journey.
