Speaking to journalists after casting his vote, Adediran expressed optimism in securing victory at the polls. He stated, “I feel there is a need for us in the state of Lagos to stand up and see how we can put an end to a dynasty that hold us in the jugular for over two decades and since we have started this project, to the glory of God, we have done everything as a human being.”
He further added, “We have been consistent and we have been so focused over the years and we have been able to make that huge statement by making sure we are on the ballot. Since October last year, we have not stopped campaigning, so we are very optimistic. We know we will win this election.”
When asked about his plans if he loses the election, Adediran replied, “This election is a process, if we win we will go to the next process. If we win again, we will go to the next process.”
