He made this disclosure while addressing APC leaders and members in Irepodun/Ifelodun State Constituency II, following his confirmation as the party’s consensus candidate for the State House of Assembly seat in Iworoko, Ekiti State.
Boluwatife emphasized that his move to the APC was a personal choice, independent of his father’s influence. He was officially presented to party leaders by the APC leadership from Afao Ward after the party agreed to zone the Assembly ticket for the constituency to the ward.
During the meeting, he expressed gratitude to party members for their support, noting that his father, who is not affiliated with the APC, had sent his greetings to those present.
“It is the exemplary character of Governor Oyebanji and his dedication to the people that drew me to the APC. Our main focus right now is the upcoming governorship election,” Boluwatife said.
He also pledged to work closely with constituents and coordinate with the incumbent lawmaker to ensure electoral success.
“I will ensure that everyone is included and no one is left behind. However, the June 20 governorship election remains our top priority, because without it, nothing else matters,” he added.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has strongly opposed reported moves by the state government to revisit the alleged Offa robbery case involving former Governor Abubakar Bukola Saraki and others.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
reports that the party made its position known during an emergency press conference in Ilorin on Friday, describing the development as politically motivated and unjust.
PDP spokesman, Comrade Olushola Adewara, said the alleged plan to reopen the case amounts to an attempt to politicise a matter that has already been concluded by the courts.
He alleged that the move was targeted at dragging Saraki into a case in which, according to him, legal authorities had previously found no evidence linking him to the incident.
Adewara referenced earlier legal opinions from the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation, which reportedly stated that Saraki was not connected to the robbery case.
The party insisted that suspects in the case had already been prosecuted and convicted, with judgments upheld at appellate levels, while the matter is currently before the Supreme Court.
PDP urged Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq to focus on governance rather than what it described as attempts to revive old political narratives.
It also called on security agencies to monitor the situation closely, warning that such actions could heighten political tension in the state.
The party further appealed to residents, especially families of victims in Offa, not to allow their pain to be used for political purposes.
