“We are happy that he offered himself to serve and improve on the developmental drive of the present administration in the state.
“That is why I say that those who are calling us foreigners (ajele) must have their heads examined, they are dunce and nitwits.
“We are indeed happy to give you deep intellectuals and astute administrators in both the governorship candidate and his running mate.
“The youths should be rest assured that they will not be ostracised in the scheme of things, I can guarantee them employment and quality life.
