The South West Campaign Coordinator and Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, who reportedly was behind the production of the caps handed them over in a ‘Ghana-must-go” bag to the officers of the Cabinet Office at the Council Chamber to distribute to the ministers in attendance.

The Minister who is having a running battles with his state governor, Abiola Ajimobi is not leaving any stone unturned to ensure that President Buhari is re-elected.
