The Ogbomoso born politician has integrated himself very well ever since he became the minister for Youth and Sport in the party, with an his enviable position.
Source further confirm to Akéde Ọ̀yọ́ that the Honorable Minister has been pressured to drop his gubernatorial ambition for senatorial, to allow an Ibadan man battle with the incumbent governor Seyi Makinde who is certain to fly the ticket of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the second time.
APC has announced that the sale of forms closes on Friday the 6th of May, having this in mind, there are no room for too much delay on decision making.
If Sunday Dare officially announced his senatorial bid, this will set him up against the incumbent and a two term Senator Fatai Buhari.
