Aladeotan, who is widely known and called Water, stated that Rikay is a person known for honesty and transparency and will act in the best interest of the people rather than for personal gain.
He noted that the Vice-chairman has the political knowledge and experience needed to lead the people of the council, having relevant experience that prepares him above others to make sound decisions.
Also speaking, the Public Relations Officer of Gbenu Youth Movement, Comrade Adeyemi Adefulu, said Rikay’s leadership skills galvanised across many organisations and institutions and as CEO of Rikay Oil Nigeria Ltd., he possesses effective leadership skills that will inspire all, make informed decisions, and take responsibility for the betterment of all.
Adefulu stressed that over time, he has demonstrated the ability to lead teams, manage conflicts, and drive progress.

Also speaking, the APC LGA, Badagry West, Mr. Peter Metome, said as the party chairman and member of the Apex Leaders Forum of Badagry West LCDA, endorsed Yemaren’s candidature, citing his humility, straightforwardness, and loyalty to the party.
