According to him “Our people, having realized the magnitude of marginalization they are sadly experiencing in our zone especially the Onicha local government of the state which has not produced any political office holder through election or appointment in many years despite contributing large numbers of votes to the electoral process, call on me to go and seize this opportunity to represent them at the senate and it is call to necessary service which I have accepted and with help of Almighty God, His grace and support of the people, we shall get the ticket of our great party, APC, we shall clinch the seat and we shall represent our people well to the glory of God and service to humanity.
