“That’s why I’m confident to say that this is my turn and time to rule Kogi after Bello, to give some succour to my people by turning around the fortunes of the state
“This is my assignment and I am ready to execute it to the expectations and joy of the citizens of kogi, ” he stated.

According to him, the people should not be afraid to rally around him in the quest as he is unstoppable in taking over Kogi on Nov. 11.
The three leaders of the defecting groups from YPP, PDP and APC took time to address the crowd at the AA campaign secretariat.
