“I do not take myself as better than you my friend, I just want to do the best I can for everyone, including listening to your ideas and carrying them out to the best of my ability. 

“Upholding the outstanding reputation of this great school, this is your chance to pick me to represent your voice. This school has done so many great things for me and I genuinely want to pay back. I cannot make the days longer but i can strive to make them better.

“On this premise, I challenge you, my fellow pupils and parents of the treasure trove Montessori school, vote for innovation, transformation, vote for progress, vote for me and I promise not to let you down. So help me God.”

Speaking with TheCable Lifestyle, Oluwaseun Adedapo, the school’s headmistress, said Jadel is an introvert but a fantastic pupil of the school

She, however, said the little boy did not win the election because he’s not sociable.

“Jadel is doing well in school, but for the person that won, he is more of an extrovert. He plays more with the children. He is more sociable and occasionally trains the student in dancing classes,” she said.

“Jadel didn’t win the election but we gave him the post of the assistant head boy.”
