In his words,
“I would like to urge you all to be responsive to this great power that you
hold – the power of choice. To be able to choose is a power so great that the
consequences of its use, or misuse, are always life-changing and defining. Year
after year, since 2011, I have kept faith with you as your senator in the 7th
and 8th sessions of the National Assembly. Through your contributions at our
various townhall meetings and constituency outreaches, you have also kept faith
by showing support and offering constructive criticisms which have helped to
make me a better lawmaker and also make Lagos East a shining example of what it
means to have a responsive senator.”
