He reaffirmed his faith in God noting that he is a genuine and devoted Muslim who is prepared to govern the people of the state faithfully. 

The ex-Managing Director of National Inland Waterways Authority(NIWA), said his contest is divine and he is resolute to run all inclusive and participatory government by raising the bar of governance in the state.

"I am a genuine and devoted Muslim. I am not a cosmetic believer and I can assure you that I am not going to disappoint you. When we get to government, you will all see the beauty of Islam in our conduct and governance", Oyebamiji added.

The guber hopeful also empowered no fewer than 1,000 members through financial support and other relief materials, describing the gesture as part of his commitment to uplifting grassroots communities and strengthening faith-based partnerships in the state.
