Insisting that the terminal date for the PDP in the state is already very near, he said; “although 2023 is still far but Omo-Agege is coming. What we are going to use their eyes to see, they won’t believe it. APC has already won the 2023 election, PDP and Okowa knows.”

He said: “I welcome you all to this party and I promise you that you will enjoy every privilege that others are enjoying. Whether you are old or new you are all equal. In this party we don’t have joiners and founders and that is what separate me from other leaders. They will say this and this just joined the party yesterday but I don’t believe in that, whether yesterday or today, you are all one.”
