“If we do not do anything, nothing will change for the better. We are suffering in our land.

“The matter on ground is not about APC or PDP. It is about taking what is ours.

“Don’t abandon me. I would not disappoint you.

“I am ready to run masses-oriented governance. We must do something now,” he said.

Adediran appealed to all who had been aggrieved by the misdemeanor of some PDP leaders to forget the past and reconcile for him to emerge with inner of the 2023 general elections.

He said that the Awori indigenes had lost countless benefits because they had not produced a governor in the state.

“I would initiate reforms to aid business growth in Lagos; parts of which would be to look into the tax system, provide infrastructure, and eliminate all forms of harassment in the market to make sure that people can easily do business.

“Technology hubs would be set up in five divisions in the state. We come into this market and get talents that would help us train those people, and the government will put them on contract.

“Not only are we going to be encouraging the talents here, but we would also be patronizing the talents.

“We would invest more in computer village. We would set up business hubs in the five divisions in the state,” he said.
