“I have been in PDP for sometimes. I have been in the National Assembly as a three timer under the platform of PDP but the umbrella has broken down. And I remember during the SDP time, the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, we see him as a role model and today, he is still my role model and when he came into governance, I have no other place than to come into APC – to work for him and to strengthen his government
“I am here with my teaming supporters, I have gone to my ward, card has been issued to me. I have also attended the senatorial meeting of the All Progressives Congress. I have come today to inform you that I’m in the fold now and I need your blessings.
“I am one of your foot soldiers in Delta and I have come to declare personally before you today and to tell you that I will abide by the rules, the laws and the constitution governing APC. I will go back to Delta State to champion Asiwaju Renewed Hope. The programmes are great programmes. The revolution …is benefiting Nigerians today.”

“I am happy as an APC member today and I’m going to work with the leadership of APC in the grassroots and make sure that APC takes over Delta State in 2027. To start with, APC will take over the House of Assembly in my local government, which I will produce by his grace, APC will take over my federal constituency where I have spent 12 years.”
