According to him, “a lot of persons have been asking about blueprint, what I can tell you is, I can’t present a blueprint to you when you are not part of the blueprint, which is the reason I seek your partnership. Nobody can tell you about your problems order than you. You have to make inputs in the blueprint because you know how these things affects you and the possible solutions to them”.

“Among the three governors we have so far, Ayade’s blueprint is the best, but you have seen how it has pan out. If you bring too much of intellectual content to a practical situation, then you have a problem. What we need now is not English but how we can collectively address all our challenges. I never said it will be easy but in our collective, we can surmount any challenge”.

“I come to you in all humility to partner with me to drive the machineries of governance, and give governance to you the people. I know the challenges that has bedeviled the state, and I will be insensitive to tell you that there are no challenges. But the good thing is that, the solutions are not far-fetched, which is through partnership”.

“As for zoning, let no one deceived you, this has been on for as long as we all can remember. This is our turn. It will be wrong for anyone to feel and think that in the entire Southern Senatorial District, no one is qualified to contest. Inasmuch as we, the South is asking and telling the leadership of the PDP not to take us for granted, we are also open to any contest”.

“However, in going for the contest, we must bring the best to contest with anyone any of the Senatorial Districts will presents, in the same way that a coach will present his first eleven in a football match.

“In all humility, I present myself for this all important tasks. The truth is, I have never lost an election. Not because I cannot lose an election, but this is because I do my facts check before joining the race. So far, I am 52% certain that, I will emerge as the flagbearer of the party, with this I am certain of winning the general elections.
