He also thanked the leaders and constituents for their unrelenting support for him as well as the party at large.

“I will make the people proud. I will make my constituency proud and give them quality representation. I promise to give my best against all contenders from the opposition parties,” he said.

He extended his hands of fellowship to his co-aspirants who stepped down for him, promising to work with them for the good of the party.

“I appreciate our state political leaders, zonal leaders, leaders at the local governments, all APC excos, members, delegates and good people of Ibadan south-west for their steadfastness, love and support.

“I wish all of us victory at the 2023 elections. May God spare our lives and reward our efforts,” he said. (
