Spokesman of the group, Comrade Miracle Amatesiro who spoke after the meeting held Agbarha-Warri kingdom, in Warri South Local Government Area,  said; “we decided to endorse him because he is a good man, very educated and intelligent.

“You could recall when the former governor, His Excellency, Emmanuel Uduaghan made him the Chairman of the Delta State Board of Internal Revenue (DBIR), he was able to touch lives.

“He built offices across the twenty five local government areas for the board

“Secondly, you saw what happened at the last Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) primaries. the people who emerged as candidates of the party were those who paid money to see themselves through.
