The Monarchs, who gave their endorsement, on Wednesday, at the Palace of Ayangburen in Ikorodu, where Osinowo was officially presented to them, unanimously declared that the APC senatorial candidate remained the “perfect candidate” for the position. The gathering, which was presided over by the Ayangburen of Ikorodu, Oba Sotobi, was equally attended by High Chiefs and Baales across Ikorodu Division.

While taking turns to offer royal blessings and prayers to Hon Osinowo, MegaXpression reports that the traditional rulers urged him to uphold the promises made to the people of Ikorodu Division. "We are ready to entrust our confidence in the hands of a competent and capable candidate," the monarchs reveals.

Speaking earlier, Osinowo, otherwise known as PEPPERITO, said his visit is to formally notify the monarchs and the people of Ikorodu of his desire to contest for the East senatorial seat and solicit their cooperation and support. He noted that he was confident of victory in the forthcoming election.

“As Senator of Lagos East Senatorial, I will make you proud. I believe we have a lot of potentials and we are determined to bring all of these together and harness them.

"When we started this process, we heard what some people were saying about our decision. Some people even said Bayo is not educated or where will I get the money to contest? But I want to assure you that this is God’s project and he will put us there,” he stated.

'Pepperito', who later went to Ikorodu town hall to address the mammoth crowd, was accompanied on the visit by some of the APC candidates, Hon Babajimi Benson, MHR, of Ikorodu federal constituency, Hon Agunsoye, MHR, of Kosofe federal constituency, Hon SOB Agunbiade of Ikorodu constituency 1, Hon Nurudeen Sholaja-Saka of Ikorodu constituency II, and several Party Chieftains from Ikorodu Division and at the State level.
