People you serve must be able to feel your impact as a good representative, and I believe God has been helping me in this area in delivering dividends of democracy to my people.

“So far, we have been been to achieve a lot of things through the grace of God. I have shown dedication to the welfare and development of the people, which I believe is my primary responsibility.

“I got to where I am presently by the grace of God, the mercy of my Principal, Governor Seyi Makinde and the love of my people, who have given me the mandate to serve them and I promised that I would do that wholeheartedly.

“As a result of my commitment to the promises I made, I was given the opportunity to serve my people for another term and this is where I am today.“

At the moment, free tutorial classes are going in the two local government areas that make up my constituency for the SS2 and SS3 students. And this exercise is funded by me. I pay the teachers from my pocket every month. And we will give best performing students scholarship to encourage others to study hard too.
