In the history of Oyo State, no successive administration has achieved all we have achieved in the areas of health, education and road construction to mention a few. We also restored peace and security.

I want to tell you that the only candidate that can sustain our developmental strides in this state is Chief Adebayo Adelabu, the APC governorship candidate, he said.

According to him, If it was my personal interest, I would not have contested for any position again. I had earlier decided that I wont contest again, being the first to govern the state for two terms.

Some people came to tell me to contest. They told me not to be selfish that they needed my influence and network to attract more developments to the state.
