“I am saying they should not just leave the post, they should hand it over to me. I cannot collect it alone. I must come through you. If you unite and ask for it, if Oonirisa talks, Orangun talks, Awujale, Owa, Akarigbo and others talk, if we ask the Presidency gently that they should hand it over to us, I am the one that want to collect it. I want to be President of Federal Republic of Nigeria. Pray for me. Stamp it.
“I appreciate you for the Saturday governorship primary. They said election has not started and you are shooting. I thank you for your patience. I thank the kings and chiefs that talked to their people to stay. You let them know that you owned the town. You know the town.
