In regret, he went on to state that by 2023 those who own the land will prove so by the massive votes they will muster for the eventual flag bearer, lamenting that those who worked for the party are being marginalised while saboteurs during the 2019 elections are being favoured by their masters.

"Political patronage now revolves around one circle. By 2023, those in that circle, who take all the benefits of the struggle after general elections would go and prove their strength in the field.
"The era of ‘Monkey dey work, bamboo dey chop’ is over. Many of those who worked for the party are being treated like outcasts while those who worked against the party in 2019 are being rewarded by the masters who have links to the governor.
‘’The governor believes all sort of lies being fed him with and 2023 will be the year of retribution for those who do not wish their neighbours well. The pettiness in lopsided political appointments and patronages by the Okowa-led Delta state government and other manners of vindictive political wickedness being demonstrated in the land shall haunt the PDP in the years to come."
