Laosun said further that “Though politic is for me is a call to serve and make the society better, I joined because I realize that we need people who are more honest and responsible to dominate the political sphere, we have been voting different people for over 20 years , nothing has really changed, our education is not being run the way it should only for the politicians to take their children abroad leaving the masses to suffered”
The guber candidate who lost to Engineer Seyin Makinde of Peoples Democratic Party said “Seyi Makinde has already been implementing some of the idea I have in my manifestos and I want you to please continue to pray for him”
