Akinwande added that leadership is about capacity, courage and compassion, qualities he said Adeola has consistently demonstrated.
He stressed that the senator has built bridges across Ogun's three senatorial districts, earning acceptance beyond his native Ogun West.
According to him, the call for Adeola to step forward is not driven by sentiment but by performance and proven competence.
He concluded that the leaders have spoken with one voice, and their message is clear: they want continuity, justice, and visionary leadership demonstrated by Adeola’s predecessors.
