“My aspiration is motivated by compassion and innovation. I am coming to deliver a legacy of service to our people.

“Our people say a good name is better than gold. If today, I fail to contribute to the building of a better Abia, what legacy would I leave for our children and generations yet unborn?

“My politics has always been one of competence, creativity and dynamism. I am not running based on zoning. My vision as governor of Abia is a state that places the welfare of the people as its number one priority; a state that is in the forefront of wealth creation for its people; a state that uses its wealth for the betterment of all.”
