Arobo's Director of Publicity and Public Engagement, Ojo Eniafe, released a statement on Saturday, highlighting Arobo's reaction to the court decision.

Arobo acknowledged the ambitions, convictions, and sacrifices of all aspirants who participated in the journey, including their right to explore every lawful avenue of appeal. He extended his hands in fellowship, open to genuine reconciliation, harbouring no animosity, seeking no vendetta, and celebrating no division. Arobo emphasized that political competition must not become a permanent barrier to friendship, collective progress, or the common destiny that binds the people of Owo-Ose together.
The APC candidate also called on party leaders and members, including the incumbent lawmaker representing the constituency, Timehin Adelegbe, to support the party ahead of the elections. He urged aspirants, youths, women, elders, and other stakeholders to work together towards improving representation and addressing the needs of constituents. Arobo stressed the importance of collective efforts to tackle the challenges facing the constituency.
Arobo outlined key priorities for his potential representation, including economic opportunities, rural development, improved infrastructure, youth empowerment, and agricultural advancement. He emphasized that the task ahead demands courage in leadership, wisdom in decision-making, unity in purpose, and an unwavering commitment to the welfare of constituents.
