Quotes "I decided to join the race because it was a divine call from Almighty God. Also, I feel obliged as a bona fide indigene of Ondo State to heed the call to serve my state. Thirdly, I decided to accede to the request of my fans and supporters spread all over Ondo State to come forward and redirect the ship of Ondo State to the shores of prosperity. I consider it an honour, and a rare privilege to have been invited by well-meaning Ondo State youths, elders, women, and other stakeholders to be part of the process of effecting the desired change in the state." Interview response to the question 'Why did you decide to join the race for Alagbaka?' "Purely to make Ondo state a state that is commercially viable via mechanised agriculture and investment in medium scale businesses. I will also focus on the creation of an enabling environment through the deployment of modern technology for the security of lives and property. Also, we will ensure the supremacy of the of law as it applies to all stakeholders. In addition, my vision for Ondo State is to make the people happy through the provision of quality education, healthcare, and gainful employment." Interview response to the question 'What is the vision behind this gubernatorial project?' "There are quite a lot of innovative and creative ideas that I have researched into with my team over the years. I did not just wake up yesterday and decided to contest. This is not a knee-jerk response or a desperate move to become governor. I know Ondo State very well, and I am quite familiar with the issues that we need to tackle frontally with good governance. There are so many areas in which Ondo state is lagging. Ondo State has not had the good fortune of being well-governed, especially in the last four years. We are not where we should be as an oil-producing state that is also immensely blessed with enormous human and natural resources. That is why we have a high rate of youth and graduate unemployment in the state. The State has sadly failed the citizens, especially the youths. Interview response to the question 'What are the new things you are bringing into governance?' "I have good news for them. The days of their endurance of the oppressive and insensitive rule under Akeredolu is numbered! Their cries and prayers have reached heaven. God has sent me to deliver them from the cruelty of this administration. It is just a matter of months and they will soon start feeling a new lease of life and bliss in all areas of life. My appeal to them is that they should be ready to talk with their votes to usher in a new era of peace, security, prosperity and development in Ondo State. The time has come for the sun to shine again on our people; it is time for them to enjoy the true dividends of democracy, not the crumbs that are grudgingly and arrogantly being passed to them like beggars. The people of Ondo State are not beggars; they are hardworking, industrious, and honest. They deserve a better deal, not the raw deal being served them by the gangster government of Mr Akeredolu."
