Speaking at Gbagi Market, the aspirant also pledged to focus on economic activities, particularly those involving traders and small business owners, if elected.
“I am coming with a clear vision to serve the people of Oyo State. Our administration, by God’s grace, will prioritise traders, artisans and small business owners because they are the backbone of our economy,” he told the cheering crowd.
The event was attended by some PDP leaders in the area, including the Chairman of Egbeda Local Government, Sikiru Oyedele Sanda; the Political Head of Ajorosun LCDA, Ibrahim Oladebo; the Chief of Staff to the Egbeda council chairman, Kabiru Siyanbola; and the PDP Chairman in Egbeda, Alawe Olawale Ebenezer.
