Alhaji Kazeem has stood with me through the ups and downs, and his loyalty has remained firm. He understands the struggle, the responsibility that comes with victory and the hard work required to sustain the trust of our people,” the Governor said.

His contribution to our journey, including the challenges we faced before attaining victory, is not lost on me,” Governor Adeleke added.
