The former governor encouraged the governorship hopeful to make wider consultations in his bid to actualise his ambition, adding that nobody can stop him from becoming Governor in 2023 “if it is God’s will”.
In his remarks earlier, Mayor Igbokwe, told the former Governor that he came to seek his fatherly blessing on his ambition, adding that his decision to join the governorship race was borne out of his passion to reinvent the state and realise the dreams of its founding fathers.
