He pledged to dedicate himself to serving the community and Kwara State as a whole, while thanking his teeming supporters.
Also a community leader and politician in Offa Local Government Area, Kanmi Adetunji, described the turn out at the political event as a positive signal for the philanthropist’s House of Representatives bid.
Adetunji said: “You can see for yourself.
“Even if a governorship aspirant records this type of huge turnout of supporters and admirers at his political rally, he will be reassured that truly his people are behind him.
“For us, it is a pay back time.
“Hon. Gbenga Power has served us and impacted positively on the people of his constituency all these years.
“Now is the pay back time.
“We owe him this.
“He earns our support.

Ladipo said: “Honourable Gbenga Power is our true representative and the event of today bears vivid testimony to this fact.

“Gbenga Power comes prepared for this race and victory is certain by God’s grace.”
