His words, “I was not privy to the information, neither was I consulted. I am not part of my brother’s decision, as it was his sole decision. I stand with the State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, my leader and my boss and will follow wherever he leads.
“As the Chiarman of Ukwa East LGA, I am committed to ensuring that the dividends of democracy gets to my people which is why I was elected and to compliment the efforts of the Governor at the grassroot.”
