Adeniran wished him a successful tenure in office.
He expressed optimism that Arapaja would exhibit the true Omoluabi ethos, as a genuine Ibadan man.
“Your victory at our party’s National convention, indicates clearly the confidence that the entire party delegates repose in the Governor Seyi Makinde leadership.
“We are optimistic that you will make Oyo State proud and we thank God for your emergence”.
“We are assured that Amb. Taofeek Arapaja will deploy his wealth of experience strengthened by the democratic tenets and principles of our great party, in his new mandate of leading the party as its National Deputy Chairman, South”, he said.

He vowed to do everything within his capacity to ensure the party remains stronger than ever, with a view that the party emerges victorious in the 2023 general election.
