Penpushing further reports that, Akinlade explained that he is contesting again to sustain and complement the infrastructural strides of past administrations, stressing that he was privileged to have served under the administration of the former Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun.
“Someone once told me that if your dreams do not scare you, then it’s not worth exploring. Yes, it is daunting and almost scary without the usual safety net, but this is one mandate that we all must undertake with clear conviction and determination to succeed. As l call on you once again, I must say that what kept me going in the last three years was your love, prayers, encouragement, and sacrifices”, Akinlade said
Penpushing also reports that, Akinlade was the Senior Special Assistant on Taxation and Revenue under Amosun’s government, adding that as at the time he joined the governorship race he had made phone calls to other gubernatorial aspirants in the party and congratulated them for throwing their hats in the ring.
“I assured them of my cooperation in the process and received the same courtesy. True vision and desire to serve should be selfless, devoid of acrimony and divisions. We are people destined for greatness, thus, this is the time to reset our focus and reposition the future of our dear state as envisioned by our forebears.”
