“I was raised on this Mile 2 Estate, so my antecedents are well known to many here, unlike those who really had no roots here, ask them where exactly their parent's house is located here in Amuwo-Odofin or Oriade. They cannot point to any particular location.
“Tell them no to somebody from America, Ikorodu and now Amuwo-Odofin. Are we fools? No, we are not. My mother late Hon Risikat Ajoke Adegeye while in the House of Assembly till the year 2007 lifted a lot of people from their lowest ebb to a better state, so it is somewhat innate in me to ensure the welfare of the people.
He further added:
“I run a business outfit where I have 125 staff strength, it is doing great, so my venturing into politics is not for pecuniary reasons, but a will to serve. I lost my mother in 2020, you all know how passionate she was about Amuwo-Odofin's development. Your security is assured they can’t do nothing, we are fully on the ground, tell them we are taking over Amuwo-Odofin."

He said:
“Amongst all other contenders, he stands out because ever since the days of his late mum he has been sold out to humanity in every sphere. He is a candidate we are sure to deliver by the special grace of God.
“You can just imagine like it were a Governor leading the rally all the while, seeing the vehicular chain and crowd of those making the trek.
“It is awesome that is the least I can say, no other candidate of any party has been able to sustain this tempo in recent times, this is a testimonial that Omogeye is greatly loved by the people.”
