He said, “To all of us that are here, I will deliver one important message. I have said severally that the 2023 elections will be a watershed event in the political history of this country. In Rivers State, the 2023 elections will be a political tsunami.
“Let me say to all of you that our votes and our support in 2023 will enshrine justice, fairness, equity and progress in this land. Everybody that wakes up in the morning is looking for progress. Progress is not when the state is rich; progress is when you make money for yourself; that is progress.”
He further said that gone were the days when elections were won and lost along political party lines, pointing out that a lot of things had happened in the country that made people learn their lessons.
