Sarsino Olatunji. Findings, without mixing words, confirmed his popularity. And if election were to be held today, with a level playing ground, majority active members of the Oluyole PDP would freely vote #Akeem.  Settle and Sarsino are two giant elephants with equal footings and skills that must never be allowed to tangle:  CONSENSUS IS THEREFORE THE BEST APPROACH.  The two contende
