I would like you to reflect on your experience as the Deputy State Director-General of the Aiyedatiwa Campaign Council. Within two months of an intensive campaign, what lessons did you learn, particularly in light of the opposition’s allegations that the election was unsatisfactory?
Thank you very much. For any project one embarks on, it is crucial to conduct a thorough risk assessment and develop strategic, tactical, and operational policies before execution. Additionally, it is essential to continuously review each step taken in the course of executing the plan and remain open to feedback to ensure necessary adjustments are made. This approach led to the introduction of new initiatives, resulting in continuous improvements that ultimately secured our 18-0 victory.
