“As a youth and the youngest deputy governorship candidate in Nigeria, I promise to live up to expectations and assiduously with all stakeholders as long as this project is a concern. My aspiration is God’s divine arrangements and projects, not a desperate one. God bless all my fans, families and associates,” he said. (Nigerian Tribune)
