“For the fact that my town has never gone to the House of Assembly, I strongly believe that my constituents will support and vote for me.
“The current lawmaker has done his best but I know that I will do more when I get there by God’s grace.
“I will arrange all our leaders in the entire Ifedore Local Government Area to be united, and we are going to move forward in terms of developmental projects. I will facilitate many developmental projects to the Ifedore Local Government Area.
“I will also facilitate different types of developmental programmes for our youths and women for them to be self-reliant.
“We can also see what our dear Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa is doing in Ondo State, while I will do my best to complement his efforts towards developing the state through my good projects and ideas. For instance now, the reconstruction of Ijare road here in Ifedore Local Government Area is ongoing and we give kudos to him.”
