The founder of Agidigbo FM, Alhaji Oriyomi Hamzat, has explained why he declared his interest to run for governor in Oyo State.
Hamzat disclosed that his decision to run for the governorship position of the state was based on divine direction.
The popular on-air personality had declared interest in runing for the Oyo State governorship under the Accord Party, AP.
However, Hamzat assured that his decision to run did not invalidate the opinion of those who warned against contesting but he was personally convinced that he will serve the people.
Speaking on Agidigbo FM on Monday, the ace broadcaster said: “The people of Oyo, my lovers, especially my advisers, who warned me against contesting. I thank you all.
“I sampled the advice of people who encouraged me to contest and those who warned me against it. I tabled it to God, and he approved my contesting.
“And I don’t want to disobey God because I want to please most of you who warned me against contesting. I believe you all love me; that’s why you are advising me. If there’s anyone I have offended with this decision, I implore them to forgive and support me now that I have declared my interest in the apex seat of the state.
“I want to serve the people and not be like most of those corrupt politicians. I believe that I will win because the people are for me, and I didn’t buy anyone to be at the event.”
Oriyomi further dismissed the stance of naysayers who insist he would not emerge, saying he has grown beyond fearing that he would not win should he contest.
“We have moved on from the point of whether I would be rigged out or lose the election. I am seeking all your support.”
