“This is the first time since 1999 my people votes will count in an election. Thanks to the transparency of the indefatigable President Muhammadu Buhari".

He also accused PDP of sponsoring attack on a Chieftain of APC Chief Utum Eteng in Yakur.

“My heart and prayers are for Chief , Barrister Utum Eteng who was brutally assaulted and beaten and almost stripped naked by hooligans recruited by PDP in Biko-Biko Ward of Ugep when they saw defeat staring them. I wish him a speedy recovery. It is sheer bestiality for such a distinguished gentle man to be so dehumanized because some people want to subvert the will of the people”, he said.
