Addressing circulating rumors regarding her candidacy, FAECO firmly rejected claims of discord between herself and the Kabiesi. “Such speculations are mere fallacies aimed at sowing division,” she asserted. “Kabiesi is my father, and I am his daughter. It is inconceivable that a father would not desire success for his child.” She further commended Oba Akinsanya for nurturing the growth of the sons and daughters of Makun and reaffirmed her commitment to his mentorship.
In her remarks, FAECO delineated her legislative vision for Remo Land, highlighting her dedication to effective governance and quality representation upon her election. Her proposed initiatives are designed to foster community development and enhance the well-being of her constituents.

The royal visit concluded with the Kabiesi extending his blessings and prayers for FAECO, urging her to uphold her commitments to the people of Remo Land and contribute positively to their growth and development.
Subsequent to the palace visit, FAECO attended a ceremonial event hosted by the Sister-to-Sister sociopolitical group at the Ewusi Hall in Makun Sagamu. During this event, she was honored with an Award of Excellence, which she graciously accepted. “I am truly honored by this recognition and encourage all to support the APC candidates in the upcoming elections,” she proclaimed, reiterating her commitment to serving the community diligently.
FAECO further addressed ongoing concerns regarding her candidacy, assuring the audience of her legitimacy as the authentic APC candidate for the House of Representatives in the 2027 elections.
