He also stated that the former Minister Niger Delta Affairs, was his role model and his style of governance really endeared him to want to be like him, particularly his uncommon transformation documentary which he passionately watched on the Television when he was the governor of Akwa Ibom State.
He disclosed that because of his trust in the leadership prowess of Akpabio, “even before the issue of zoning came up on who to endorse for the position of the Senate President, I had already told our three Senators to team up with Akpabio. Please when you emerge the Senate President by the special grace of God, have Kogi State and the development of the North Central zone in your mind, particularly the completion and commissioning of the over 90 percent execution of Ajaokuta Steel Company.”
