He said:

"I remain convinced that Hon. Sola Ebiseni, a candidate who has demonstrated significant leadership as the Afenifere Secretary, is the right man to govern Ondo State. "In my interactions with him, I have come to see him as someone who believes in a Nigeria rooted in fairness, equity, and justice. He has what it takes to make Ondo State thrive."

The former Anambra State governor underscored Ebiseni's experience, competence, and commitment to the values of fairness, equity, and justice.

The former Anambra state governor emphasized that the goal of democratic processes is not only to elect leaders but to ensure the right leadership that brings positive change to the people.

Obi's endorsement of Ebiseni is based on the candidate's promise to lead with integrity and to tackle the issues that have held back the state from realizing its full potential.
