“My transition from saving lives in the operating theatre to shaping policies in public office reflects a lifelong commitment to humanity and progress.”

“As a proud son of Ibadan, my legacy in Oyo State remains indelible. As Commissioner for Health, I championed transformative initiatives, attracted multi-million-dollar medical support from international partners, and laid enduring foundations for a more inclusive and accessible healthcare system.”

“My leadership was not only seen but deeply felt, earning me accolades as one of the most outstanding commissioners of my time.”, he said.

The respected politician added that his new party is ready to give him an enabling platform for due needed leadership in Oyo State.

He vowed to deliver good leadership, inclusive democracy through all year gathered techno-political experiences.

“As the journey to Agodi gathers momentum, the message is clear: experience is ready, capacity is proven, and the moment has come. Oyo is watching. The road has opened, and Adeduntan has begun the march.”, he concluded.
