Because we sore the progress, we meant progress. One of the youngest that I recruited as a PA is today the governor of Lagos state. That is how to live a life of achievement.

Here I want to make a promise to you, delegates just vote for me, vote for success, vote for prosperity, vote for the man who knows the road.
I promise you, that we will create jobs, we will rehabilitate those who are displaced by Bakassi, and we will create channels to service the port of Calabar.
You see PDP want to come back just don’t vote for them. You see for 16 years the electricity is not still stable.
I describe PDP as Termites and also referred to the party as the Poverty Development Party. Get that right” he said.
