“We only need peace in Ajegunle, once there is peace there is no insecurity and what is peace? It is when you make everybody comfortable, when they can afford three daily meal per day, once this is guaranteed there won’t be any trouble.

“There won’t be stealing but when somebody wakes up in the morning, having no where to go, no food on the table, such will easily take to crime and even desire death, that is the trend in Ajegunle.

“I will however try my best to contribute my quota in ensuring security in Ajegunle. Precisely I will keep a standard that will make people to understand that, it is not only about security.

“Ajegunle needs more than that, they need somebody that will provide for them, be for them I know I cannot do it all but at least I will keep a standard.

“I am offering a new phase to politics in PDP even after 2023 within a year, they will see the difference.”

According to the business mongul turned politician, peace eludes any society that lacks the basic social amenities and a listening ear.

“Ajeromi Ifelodun Federal constituency need somebody like me, who can move closer and humble himself to listen to them, then Ajegunle will be better.

“What they need is a listening ear, they want to talk and be heard and once you hear you can do. Most of those things I do in time past are often not premeditated, I do it as I am being led to but I know Ajegunle will experience a new thing soonest.

He also noted that he will engender a beneficial style of politicking, where those who actively get involved in the electoral process reaps the gain more as a way of checking prevalent voter apathy.

“My political style will certainly be unique. I want them to know that those who cast their votes must enjoy the dividend of democracy.

“It is the time for the youths, I am sure the candidate of the opposition party that will aspire to be a member of Ajeromi Ifelodun Federal House of Representatives like me come 2023, in terms of age comparison will be older than me if not by 20 to 30 years or more.

“But the youths will decide and it is a common saying that they are tired of suffering and they needed something new.”

In the mood of celebration the Ajegunle born and bred young wealthy politician, gives out gifts of 1000 packs of indomie noodles to the widows in the area.

Commenting on how best to tackle voter apathy, Chima maintains that a long standing relationship he has with the people will make them come out enmasse to perform their civic duty.

“In politics there is no way I will go and drag them from their house to come and vote. The love they have for me will make them to come out and vote.

“I started investing my money in Ajegunle in 2011 when I have not ventured into politics, I started doing great things in Ajegunle since then, now going into real politics in 2023,12 years after I don’t need marketing, you don’t need sales promotion for an effectual drug like ‘Alabukun’.

“My face is the face of the people, my voice will stand as people’s voice, I won’t be an echo or speaker but a voice.When I speak they would hear and follow me. I have not seen the candidate APC is going to bring that is going to bring me down in 2023. “

“I have a team working with my party to ensure online registration for our members as well as to make getting their PVC seamless, politics is not a one man’s job, it is a team work and success will be our’s.”
