He promised to embark on strategic engagements, consultations, and the mobilisation of the electorate to woo and broaden his electoral opportunities.

“I am determined and resolute, going by my pedigree, experience, exposure, reach and contact, and I stand a better chance to clinch the ticket of my party, the PDP.
