Boluwatife made the statement while addressing APC leaders and members in Irepodun/Ifelodun State Constituency II, following his confirmation as the party’s consensus candidate for the State House of Assembly seat.
The presentation was facilitated by the APC leadership from Afao Ward, which secured the Assembly ticket for the constituency.
Expressing gratitude to party members, Boluwatife acknowledged that his father, who is not an APC member, had sent his greetings to the gathering.
“It is because of the good character of Governor Oyebanji, his love for the people, that attracted me to the APC. The most important thing on my mind is the forthcoming governorship election; that is our focus,” Boluwatife said.
He pledged to work closely with constituents and cooperate with the current lawmaker to ensure electoral success.

“I will make sure everybody is carried along and ensure nobody is left behind. But the most important thing right now is the June 20 governorship election, because without that, every other thing means nothing,” he added.
