Speaking shortly after his victory, Adegoke expressed gratitude to party members for the confidence reposed in him, pledging to run an issue-based campaign focused on development, good governance, and improved welfare for residents of Oyo State.

He emphasized the need for unity within the party, calling on fellow aspirants and supporters to come together to strengthen the ADC’s chances in the general election.
