“Our people at the grassroot have been sidelined, marginalized and reduced to soothsayers or opera singers. This is a disturbing scenario. And as someone understand their yearnings, I can tell you that I will connect with them conveniently because I understand their language.”
“I have been fully exposed to the workings of government. I understand the dynamics of party politics. I am conversant with contemporary national and global legislative issues.
“ I have satisfied my conscience and God helping me, I will not disappoint the people of constituency and especially the youth,” he added.
