His words: “I am here today to present myself to the Delta South Senatorial District executives by the mandate of our leader, DSP Ovie Omo-Agege, that I should contest for the Delta South Senatorial District seat come 2023 General Elections.
“I have also accepted his order to contest for the Senate seat to represent the good people of Delta South Senatorial because I also believe that we must join hands together to win all the elections in Delta State come 2023.
