He said “I believe I am qualified to contest the governorship election and definitely, I will contest and wrest power from him (Makinde) in 2023.

“He was put in office by the grace of God and God is ready to remove him from office now”.
He further stated that “he is confident of defeating Makinde in 2023, saying those who brought him to power are against him and the voters are also not happy with him.”
“We have so many precedents that make us to be sure that we are going to dislodge him.
“We had a collegiate party leadership in 2019 and that made it possible. So, come 2023, this governor, Seyi Makinde, is leaving,” he concludeded.
