According to him, “I have known you for a very long time and you are a good person who is always ready to listen to his people. Even if you had not come to visit me, I would have still worked for you,” he said while responding to the purpose of the former NEXIM board member visit to seek his support.

He added that the Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege has done marvellously well in Delta Central, so Urhobos cannot lower the standard now.
