“Thank you for the lesson. God bless all who prayed and supported me in the political run for the Delta State House of Assembly.
“I lost the primaries today. The story is for another day and congratulations to the winner Mathew Oporu.

Already willing to take his fate and move on, Fuludu told one of his supporters that he was indeed the best hand for the job.
“Not about naivety. They agreed am the best in all ramifications but my own brothers who are really taken care off burnt my bridge. Am not really worried its a lesson but no giving up” he said
Fuludu is just one of the increasing list of ex-footballers going into politics after legendary Nigerian footballer and 1980 Africa cup of nations winner Segun Odegbami had also declared his Gubernatorial ambition in Ogun state.
