As the chairman of the occasion, the Oyo governor praised the attendees for coming out to honour one of the region's distinguished sons, describing Wabara as “a donation from Abia state to Nigerians”.
He said:
“Senator Wabara has restored hope in the party’s board of trustees; hence, we now know that this party has a conscience,” Makinde said.
“I pray that in the next dispensation, this party will give birth to the government at the national level.”
