His words, “I have served Bayelsa State and Nigeria diligently well and prepared to served you well as a governor come November, 16 2019.
I have footprints everywhere as a trained architect and environmental scientist. We must pick leaders that are tried and tested before, who have outstanding performances, not on paper, not on billboards but what is visually seen on ground.
The first thing whoever being elected into office should be to unite the State and bring everybody together as a one entity and move the State forward.
We are equal stakeholders in Bayelsa project. I have the capacity to bring everybody together. We will build schools, hospitals, roads, houses and so on, to grow our human capacity.
To serve Bayelsa is easy and sometimes difficult. It is easy when you have requisite experience, and it is difficult when you don’t have experience and don’t know what to do,” he stated.
He called for free, fair, credible and transparent polls that will be acceptable by all.
