He said; “I thank all members of the APC national working committee and everyone present. This is a testament that we are tired of the People’s Democratic Party PDP and we are ready to Chase away PDP from Asaba. You sent me to the Senate in 2015 and I represented you well. In 2019 you supported me back to the Senate and I emerged the Deputy Senate President. I thank Mr. President Muhammadu Buhari for standing by us to be number two in the Nigeria Senate.
“First I am here to report back to you that I have fulfilled all the promises I made to you during my electioneering campaigns. Today every communities Urhobo Land has solar power street lights, Additional Transformers, renovation of primary and secondary schools, additional health centers and a brand new Federal Polytechnic at Orogun, defence state school and Nigeria Law School Campus in Delta State. We are also about to get a new Federal University of Agriculture in Aboh and many more. This is what I have done for my people.
“I therefore want to bring same to Delta North and Delta South. We will not allow Okowa to continue to marginalize us. Okowa has continued to marginalize the Ndokws nation. Oshimili North and south, nothing to show. Youths left the university for over 10years without job. Okowa wants you to drive Keke while his people are using the best flashy cars. It is on this ground that we say enough is enough for PDP”.
