Oladele, a young entrepreneur, educationist explained that his decision to enter the race was influenced by pressure from the people of the state. 

He attributed the nickname to his long-standing commitment to honesty, citing his past actions as a testament to his integrity. 

Oladele said:”From turning down bribes while serving as a toll collector in 2002 to returning excess money to a petrol attendant in 2018 and refunding a significant sum in 2021, this reputation for honesty has earned me the respect of many.

“My track record of integrity was further recognised in 2023 when I was honoured with the prestigious Gani Fawehinmi Outstanding Integrity Award, presented by renowned human rights lawyer Femi Falana SAN.”

 He described himself as a man who possesses everything needed to transform the state’s fortunes into what the people desire.
