He said that it is a fact that votes once cast are not subject to manipulation, “as it goes straight to the server, this time around your vote will count”.

“I have never seen this kind of crowd it is unprecedented, ever since I have been contesting this is the time, our victory is certain. We barely allowed them hold forte for a while due to their rigging tactics we took them as far as the court to recover the clearly stolen mandate but now their time is up.

“2023 February it is Chicago’s time in Somolu Federal Constituency, we will match them money for money, strength for strength.

“In 2019 we had rerun and even went to court, we are more than people that will be enticed with pecuniary gains.

“We have never teamed up with APC and will never do that,because they did not do well, look at Saint fin bars road and many more other roads they are practically impassable ”,

“I asked them with this song, don’t you fear their votes?, when you bulldozed their house and chased Okada of the roads, don’t you fear their votes?

“No good road networks around Somolu-Bariga all they do is deceive us. In the market no good road. You can’t threaten us, in 2015 rice was 6500, now 35,000 naira, vote for a man of his word. We all ought to represent Somolu, but we jointly sent someone, we are not a coward we are going to vote them out.

" I promised to give scholarship if I win the election in 2019, I was not given the mandate and I still gave 500 students scholarship. I am going to do more this time if you all cast your vote for me". 

“What we did today is a fitness walk we shall start ward round visit after this . They also had a programme today, but our crowd surpasses their own. PDP made a statement today, that we are tired of their poor representation.
