“I pledge before God and this community to uphold the trust and expectations you have placed in me. This mandate is a call to serve, not to rule. Our guiding principle will be a government that listens, serves and delivers. I reaffirm my commitments to the people of Olorunda, to provide access to quality basic education for every child.
“I will strengthen our primary health care system, enhance social welfare, empower youths and women through innovation, skills development and enterprise.
“I pledge to invest in infrastructure, sanitation, security and a sustainable local economy,” Kumayon said.
He promised to maintain a leadership style rooted in transparency, inclusion and accountability.
The chairman-elect thanked his party for the support and confidence reposed in him, acknowledging key figures, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for their leadership legacies.
He also expressed appreciation to Lagos APC Chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, and Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) for conducting a peaceful and credible election.
He praised the outgoing chairman, Mr. Samson Olatunde.
Kumayon paid tributes to traditional rulers in Olorunda for their supports.
