At the various communities visited, Hon. Elumelu paid courtesy calls to the traditional rulers , and he assured them that the presidential candidate of PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and his vice presidential candidate, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa will give traditional rulers constitutional roles that would enable them to oversee their jurisdiction to benefit the people.

On their parts, the traditional rulers expressed confidence in Hon Elumelu and said that he has remained a unique politician who has genuine passion for the people by all his actions as the representative of the people, even as they honoured him with more chieftaincy titles, signifying endorsement for him to return to the National Assembly.
