As such, he has no intention of quitting the race under any circumstances and for anybody. ”

He warned the peddlers of the fake news to desist from exposing their ineptitude and mediocrity and urged Anambarians to keep faith with Moghalu he is set to put things right in the state.
He also urged the electorates to go to the polls and allow the democratic will of the people be expressed through the ballot box.
