The parents while describing Engr Faozey as a blessing, not just to the senatorial district, but to the state as a whole, prayed that God increases his wealth and grant his heart desires and promised to support his ambition, which they are confident will bring the quality representation Oyo Central senatorial district has lacked in the previous years.
