Our campaigns have gone beyond expectations. We are surprised at the level of reception, particularly in the northern part of the state and the south where we come from, amongst them are the Itsekiris, the Isokos and the Ijaws. We’re doing very well and I believe that if that tempo is kept, and I hope we will do that, the results will amaze a lot of persons and that’s the truth.

But there’s this news trending in social media, that you, leader of Delta Ijaw 2023 Governorship Campaign group, made a confirmation to the effect that, the 2023 governorship position of the state is being slated for Delta Central Senatorial District. Can you expatiate on it, sir?

Straightaway, it is a lie from the pit of hell! You Know me, I’m an Ijaw man and I’m just like my title, “akan” (bitter kola) which speaks one voice, it doesn’t speak from both sides of the mouth, no, it doesn’t doublespeak at all. I am a regular, I stick with what I say.

So, if for any reason Ijaw nation who gave me the mandate to do what I’m doing changed their minds and tell me to stop, then I will call a meeting for the Ijaw people again and address the press formally as we did when this campaign started, to tell them that, see, Ijaw nation has changed her mind, we’ve decided to paddle the same canoe with the Urhobos. But that hasn’t happened!
