To the women, the men, the youth, may God bless you all. I am your son. My appointment isn’t mine, it is for us all. To those who are probably still angry, or ashamed, don’t be angry or ashamed. We are still one, even if you didn’t support the People’s Democratic Party, we are still one Iyede. Let us all come together. We want 4peace. I am a man of peace, and that is all I want for the entire Iyede. To the Leaders of this community, I thank you. I am not a politician that forgets the people.

I am not like those politicians that would only be seen during elections. I am a politician who keeps to his promises and I am a man of my word. Don’t be scared, I am with you full time. With the way you stood by me, I am not worried because I know you would stand by me in the next elections.”
