The ambition of the Social Democratic Party Governorship aspirant, Barrister Micheal Folorunsho Lana received a huge boost on Tuesday, when students pledged to work for his victory in the forthcoming general election.

Victor explained they decided to support Barrister Lana after careful evaluation of all the guber candidates in the state.
