He appreciated the leader of Peoples Democratic Party, Governor Udom Emmanuel for holding firm the fabrics of the party.

His appreciation went to the delegates and other stakeholders across the three Local Government components of the Federal Constituency for finding him worthy of their mandates and promised defending the confidence reposed on him by Ikot Abasi Federal Constituency when voted into office at the general polls.

“We were 6 contestants who contested for the Ikot Abasi Federal Constituency seat but God favoured me. I won because God favoured me.

“In a contest, some people throw in their hat into the ring to win, some contest to be known while others contest for recognition, but I was in the race to win and God saw me through.

“As we all know, the President didn’t sign the Electoral Act as such, statutory delegates didn’t vote, even with that, I was on top of my game and God gave me victory”, he stated.
