In his response, Adeoye assured the forum of his unwavering support and commitment to working hand in hand with the PDP structure to deliver good governance to the people of Lagos State and make the party proud.

He outlined his vision for a transformed Lagos, anchored on a clear agenda that prioritises quality education with significant investments in infrastructure, vocational training, and digital learning to equip the youth for the future.

He also promises accessible and quality healthcare to ensure every Lagosian receives affordable and efficient medical services. Equally, he spoke on improved security through enhanced policing, community engagement, and technology driven solutions to make Lagos safer for residents and businesses.
