Top members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) converged on Ibadan, Oyo state capital, on Saturday, for the launch of the zonal office of Buhari/Osinbajo support group.
Among those in attendance were Isaac Adewole, minister of health; Adebayo Shittu, minister of communication; Ken Nnamani, former senate president; and Orji Uzor Kalu, former governor of Abia state.

Okorocha also said Rotimi Amaechi, minister of transportation, had been appointed as the director-general of the president’s campaign team.
Buhari is yet to make public his intention for 2019 even though he has been holding meetings with leaders of his party and many of his supporters.
However, this event is coming at a time a major crisis, Fulani herdsmen killings, is ongoing in some parts of the country.
The renewed killings, which began on New Year’s Day, has claimed the lives of about 100 people across Benue, Nasarawa and Adamawa states.
Nigerians have criticised Buhari for not tackling the herdsmen crisis decisively, accusing him of being insensitive and lacking empathy.
The President has not up to date visited any of the affected states, especially Benue which is the most hit – with death toll hitting 80 and counting.
