“I want to appreciate everyone for the trust and furthermore, I want to say that what many people are saying that “one good turns deserves another” will not be taken for granted.
“I am aware that the mandate given to me and my team is a responsibility to work and represent the party for the next four years. This is not because we are special since we have many other qualified people that can do it, but you just resolved to entrust your confidence in us to represent Igbogbo.
