“My elders, my sisters, my brothers, and my friends, today I have come to meet you people to nominate me for the governor of this state so that I can go into the primaries and win as a united front.

“I want you people to nominate me to bear the APC’s flag and contest in the governorship election.

Speaking on security, Umakhihe said that he is an expert in security strategy and has the blueprint for resolving the challenges.

“I know there is a security challenge here, and I have the blueprint to resolve it, and we will involve the traditional system in intelligence so that everybody can sleep with two eyes closed,” Umakhihe said.
