Daramola, a close ally of Governor Bago, praised the governor's achievements in transforming Niger State in under four years. He highlighted Bago's tangible impact in various sectors, including agriculture, road infrastructure, healthcare, education, and power.

Daramola noted that Governor Bago has earned the title of "Farmer Governor" through his efforts in repositioning agriculture for food security and export. He cited the governor's achievements in the agriculture sector, including the export of shea butter, which will soon become highly sought after in the global cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Daramola also mentioned the governor's investment in road infrastructure, including the construction of roads from Kontagora to Bida.

The former Rep member also highlighted Governor Bago's achievements in the healthcare sector, including the conversion of the moribund Shiroro Hotel into the IBB Multi-Disciplinary Specialist Hospital. He noted that the governor has built and equipped 1,500 new primary health facilities in less than four years. Daramola praised the governor's investment in education, from primary to tertiary, and the foreign scholarships extended to Nigerlites.

Daramola described Governor Bago's investment in the power sector, including the Solar Farm, as the most daring and biggest by any state in Nigeria. He praised the governor's cosmopolitan nature, noting that as a devout Muslim, he allows peaceful coexistence of other faiths. Daramola also highlighted the governor's humility and kindness, citing his interactions with aides and security guards.

According to Daramola, Governor Bago has remained true to his relationships and unfazed by the fleeting allure of power. He noted that the governor relates to all his aides and everyone around him without airs or chips on his shoulders.
