It said, “Following the groundswell of support by leaders and members of our party as well as the generality of Ekiti people from the nooks and crannies of Ekiti State and the Diaspora, it is with a profound sense of gratitude and responsibility that I, today, accept the calls by our people to seek re-election for a second term in office.

“You have made the calls and today I have opted to act in deference to those sacred calls by throwing my hat into the ring for a free and fair contestation for the exalted office for a second term.”
