According to him, “I was only carrying out my duty as the Special Adviser to the Speaker on New Media and Publicity. As the leader of the team, I made sure that all Lagos residents were able to access all the proceedings going on in the Lagos State House of Assembly which gave a new insight about the legislators.
“This development gave the House a new face lift and the Speaker was appreciative of it. When he was approached by the State Government to refer a candidate for the position of Sole Adminsitrator, he immediately penned down my name after gathering that I have had my chances at positions in the Council and also my acitvities to the success of the party in the area.”
