“I know that in view of what happened, some people are still aggrieved but what I want you to know is that there is no way PDP will work for the development of our division like APC. We are also all aware that for the past sixteen years of PDP, they did not do anything in Epe division and it is only the APC that for the country.

“I want to assure you that Epe will benefit more if we vote for APC. All my achievements in the last three and a half years will be improved upon if Sanwo-Olu wins. So I want to urge you all to come out and vote for APC because that is how we can secure the future of our children and this division.
