“The needs of the people would be sought as your voices would be needed in taking major decisions in the state.”

He affirmed thus:
“Sen. Andy Uba is our brother we cannot wish it away, let rally around him now to get closer to the centre to be able to negotiate easily the agitations we have in Nigeria polity."
Okeke urged the electorate in the state to shine their eyes and vote massively for the APC candidate for Nov. 6 governorship election and disregard any political blackmail against APC and its candidate.
