May I use this opportunity to appreciate all other great personalities who took part in the Primary Election. My bosom Rt. Hon. Michael Dapianlong who happened to be my colleague at the Plateau State House of Assembly from 1999-2003, Barr. Philip Isa Nyitni, Mr. Chrysanthus Dawam and Hon. Ja’afaru Damulak (who later withdrew from the race) for their understanding and the spirit of sportsmanship they exhibited before, during and after the Primaries. This victory is ours collectively and we will work together to make our dream of the Senate a reality for our great Party, the PDP during the main election. I hold you all in high esteem and believe the future is brighter and promising to all of us.

May I specially thank the delegates of our Party from Plateau Southern Zone who deemed it fit to confide and trust us with this ticket, for their great show of love, sacrifices, solidarity and uncommon commitment.
This is a rare privilege which we will never take for granted and your efforts are noticed and greatly appreciated.

Having represented our people in different capacities and at different levels, we are not new to Legislative activities as we have gathered experiences and skills over the time and we will do better if elected to the Red Chamber to represent Plateau Southern Zone.
We will improve and consolidate on our previous achievements and provide credible and people-oriented representation which will address the plights of our people.
By the grace of God, we will bring our wealth of legislative experience and prowess to bear to better the lives of our people and transform Plateau Southern Zone.

We call on all Stakeholders from Plateau Southern Zone, Party Executives/ Supporters and all other Aspirants to join hands towards a resounding victory for our party, so we can provide greater dividends of democracy to our people.
