He said what he is going to do in the next four years in legislative businesses will be greater that what he has already done. “The election is just by the corner and I urge you all to vote for me and other APGA candidates in the forthcoming elections. All over the world, excellence does not happen by chance; it is usually a direct result of clear vision, smart decisions and bold resolve to rise above average. I plead that I should be given another chance to turn excellence into a habit. I represent dignity in labour and reward for hard work.

“I welcome those who will contest the senatorial election with me but I must remind them all that the constituency and the state at large belongs to all of us. Elections will come and go but Anambra will remain. We must refuse every temptation to make this election a do or die affair and turn our dear state into a war zone. We have the responsibility to preserve the peace the state governor, Chief Willie Obiano have worked very hard to bring to Anambra State today; I reach out my hands in fellowship to you and urge you to help keep Anambra state safe and peaceful.”he added.
