He noted: “I was earning well as ED of IRS in Edo state at the time, but my driving force was not monetary. I therefore adhered to my principle, because I am not I didn’t see any reason to leave the APC.

“Moreso, I am not a normadic politician that keeps on moving back and forth. And ever since, I have been a dominant player in APC. It is in my DNA,” he added.

The candidate who is a former regional manager of a commercial bank attributed his choice to enter the election to his desire to impact members of his constituency’s life.

Ther Ovia Federal Constituency seat became vacant following the election of the former incumbent, Hon. Dennis Idahosa as the deputy governor of Edo state.
