The governor, while reacting to his victory, said he was overwhelmed by the people’s support just as he urged them to support him to win the gubernatorial election in 2023.
“I’m not the most brilliant or the most upright person yet you gave me your mandate. Thank you for believing in me and in our party, PDP.
“Trust is like a building. For every building to stand it must have a solid foundation; the foundation for trust is truth,” the governor said.
