It’s my personal decision and determination”.

“By now, I want to believe that the leaders and people from my Federal Constituency -Akoko Northeast and Northwest would have known what I represent. I am not the one to praise myself, I will leave commendation for the people to do when the time comes”.
“On 2023 general elections, it is not yet time to talk about politics because second term is not my priority. My priority for now is to spend the next couple of years to see to the development and empowerment I can influence to my Constituency and Oil Producing areas of Ondo State as Chairman House Committee on NDDC”.
“I am not a lawmaker who runs away from responsibilities because leadership role is all about responsibilities and I have qualified myself well for the calling. I have solved some challenges facing health sector in my Federal Constituency with provision of ambulances, mobile clinics and other equipment for the people to have better health service delivery. I have also equipped our hospitals with needed equipment worth over a hundred million naira, I had spent over 30million naira for free surgery from my own personal purse. By so doing, whenever election comes, people should not judge me by the words of my mouth, but rather by my excellent performance”. Bunmi Tunji-Ojo said.
