"Prof. Yemi Osinbajo should not forget the role Tinubu played in ensuring that he becomes the Vice President of Nigeria. It is only normal for a man to be loyal to his benefactor.
“Niger Deltans should waste no time in keying into the Tunubu for president 2023 movement, the Jargaban remains the only antidote for a progressive Nigeria and a better Niger Delta.
"I am ready to mobilise as many as possible well-meaning Niger Deltans to show support for Tinubu in Niger Delta. Support for Tinubu is support for democracy and a better Nigeria and progressive Niger Delta."
