When I listed my interest to contest for the Governorship election under the Labour Party, Kwara in 2011 race, a path that delivered me the gubernatorial ticket of the party but whose relishment was shortlived by some political expeditions outside the strenght of my reach in that year. I received a lot of criticism, a log of discouragement and look down until some begins to listen to me. In the years pasts in Nigeria politics, our political players has inflitrated our sensibility by conscientiously promoting anointed candidate and the fraud of consensus candidates politics. This promoter of this deceitful democratic practices to a very expansive extent have weaken Nigerians innate resolution to political participation.

In the year unfolding, I shall like to see the coordination and implementation of democracy without limit. I shall also be working against any political idea or ideal that promote bigotry or ethnic favouritism. I do not subscribe to any idea of politics that promote the interest of one ethnic ahead of the interest of others. In my designated political ideology and principle, any Nigerian regardless of his/her region of origin is qualify to rightfully sought political patronage of Nigerians. I envision a Kwara where government will be more accountable, transparent, reasonable and rewarding. I will like to see to the termination of any overbearing godfatherism and the installation of people's government. I envision a Kwara where political loyalty will be to the state, away from the evil personality christening currently on our table.

The Kwara of tomorrow will be a Kwara that is free from the evil of absolutism carriage of our political opportunity. As a would be aspirants come 2015, my hope is to submit my candidature to the electorade as the custodian and legal determinants of who lead beyond 2015. I would not leave our people without an option neither will I pushed them on a political platform that may mar our intended political freedom and interest.

We do not need a soothsayers to navigate the labyrinth of the future in order for us to know whom the common enemy of our inheritance was, whom it was that has made our statewide dignity a phantom of neglected issues. Our silence in the midst of this uttermost assault is indeed the need for my appeal to Kwarans and lover of freedom to awake to this responsibility of freeing Kwara from unlegislated task master that has turn us to mole in our land.

My motive to contest election and win is this simple. I discovered that we have not had a government but the appointment of selective fews who forcefully manage our statewide resources. I discovered that the required passion that can turn this government into a participatory government is not embedded. I noticed that this winding government is too passionate about the preservation of validators of its inherited mandate. I saw how sad our people are. I saw loss of hope in their actions and comments of our people. I saw loss of dignity among the current beneficiary of political office and among the followers, I saw injustice and unrelenting malfeasance, I saw no virtues of what we read of democracy, I saw manifesting creed and loss of conscience. In the face of all these identified inadequacies, I am pressed to request the adoption and support of our people come 2015.

I would rather not be a governor than be a Governor that will unserve the need of our people. I am a village boy who has limited continental friends that will take your resources to distant land. I will not need billions to build myself a mansion in my place of birth, I know where we have found ourself outside our wish. I know where I think we should be, I would not be the bourgeois Governor alone neither will the reference our theocratic leader affect the delivery of good governance. I will be the people's governor.

I envision a prosperious free Kwara in our hand. I need you all. I need your support, your time, your resources and your prayers. In months ahead, I shall be sure of the direction we shall be trailing for the activation and restoration of our mandate.
