"In 2023, we dared to believe that things could be different. We stepped out, we organized and we proved that the youth of Surulere Constituency 1 are ready for governance driven by conscience. Despite the administrative hurdles that left our names off the final ballot, your resilience showed me that our vision was never a passing phase. Instead, it was the beginning of something much more significant."

"We cannot afford to sit on the sidelines while our future is decided by a political class that won’t have to live with the consequences of today’s choices. If we don’t step up now, we will remain at the receiving end of broken systems tomorrow."

"That is why I am incredibly proud to declare my candidacy for the House of Representatives (Surulere 1 Federal Constituency) in the 2027 elections under the banner of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM). I look forward to your continued support as we work together to Reset Nigeria."
