Chief Olurin in his own message, thanked the people for the peaceful conduct of the polls and INEC.

That was why my campaign organisation went with the slogan ‘Ajose ni ise Ogun’. What this means in essence is that we should all join hands together to move Ogun State forward regardless of our political, ethnic religious or other affiliation.”

For me, politics is just a vehicle to serve the people and make society better, it is not a do or die affair. The wish of the people must be respected and they have spoken with their votes. I wish Senator Amosun well in the tasking job of making Ogun State greater than he met it”.
