I am happy that I am now in APC, with our broom we will sweep all the rubbish in this Ika land. I will sweep it clean to the satisfaction of everybody.
APC has come to stay in Ika land, it has brought the change we all desire. Let us work together to project APC positively in Delta State.

I thank you all for coming to welcome me, I promise that I am not going to disappoint you all.
