“The assembly under my watch, we are going to collaborate with the executive to move the state forward. We have no reason not to deliver on our promises to the good people of Osun who on a daily basis keep praying for the success of this administration. They trusted us with their mandate, we must not let them down. I am going to be accessible to all and I am going to be accountable to the people who put me here to lead them.”
He, however, applauded Governor Ademola Adeleke for allowing youths to take up leadership position in the state, noting that this is unprecedented.

“I want to assure the good people of Osun that by the time we will exiting office, we would have done excellently well that our result would have been the best in Osun, even in Nigeria at large.”
