Explaining his motivation, Adeniyi said the decision to invest his personal resources in support of the governor was driven by conviction rather than convenience.
“Despite my struggling condition as a mini truck driver, I felt compelled to support a leader who has done well in all sectors of administration.

Adeniyi further explained the financial sacrifices behind the project, revealing that determination and personal savings made it possible.
He said he conceived the idea last year but had no immediate funds to execute it.
“I started saving from my meagre income, but when I realised it wouldn’t be enough, I took an online loan to complete the project, with the firm belief that I would repay it in no distant time,” he explained.
