“This recognition is not just about one individual; it is a testament to the values of service, consistency, and a genuine commitment to the people,” he said.

“This recognition will only inspire me to do more, serve better, and remain steadfast in his service to the people.”

Ajadi used the occasion to emphasise the urgent need for purposeful and visionary leadership in Nigeria, maintaining that only leaders with genuine concern for the people can deliver meaningful development. He reiterated his commitment to governance that prioritises welfare, economic growth and inclusive opportunities.

He further vowed that if elected governor of Oyo State, he would institutionalise quality leadership anchored on transparency, accountability and people-focused policies.

“I remain committed to purposeful leadership, youth empowerment, and building a better future for our nation,” he added, while assuring that his administration, if given the mandate, would focus on improving livelihoods and expanding opportunities for all.

Ajadi also pledged to continue deploying his personal resources and influence to support the people, both now and in the future, as part of his broader vision to build the Nigeria of collective aspiration.

The governorship hopeful expressed appreciation to the organisers of the award, City People Magazine, as well as individuals and groups who found him worthy of the recognition. He assured that the honour would spur him to greater service as he intensifies his political engagement ahead of the election.

“I sincerely thank the management of City People and everyone who recommended me for this special award. I do not take this recognition for granted, and I promise to do even more for our people,” he said.
