He stated, “In addition to my academic qualifications, I have served as the pioneer leader of the Ughelli South Local Government Council Legislative Arm and have held previous positions such as Deputy Chief of Staff and other appointive roles. As a result, I possess the necessary qualifications and experience to lead effectively.”

He emphasized that his administration aims to bring positive change to the residents of Ughelli South Local Government Area, ensuring that the interests of youths, women, elders, and all constituents are considered.
