Speaking during a recent interview with Isaac Brown on Fresh FM Radio Station in Ibadan, the aspirant emphasized his commitment to service, revealing the personal sacrifices he has made in pursuit of effective leadership.
“I sleep between 1am or 2am to ensure my ministry does not suffer because of my ambition to become governor,” Shangodoyin said, highlighting his dedication to his current role and his vision for higher office.
