Aiyedatiwa also expressed his confidence in winning the governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in April and the forthcoming governorship election in November.

He said, “My supporters should continue working and never doubt as my coming victory in the primary and general elections are the promise of God.
“My emergence as governor is what my late boss, Governor Akeredolu wanted. A lot of people don’t really know Akeredolu, they don’t know that he was a prophet.
“There was a time after he (Akeredolu) returned from a medical vacation that he told the cabinet members during an executive council meeting that ‘Look, Aiyedatiwa will emerge as the next governor.”
