He said: “Our works speak for us. We have so much to campaign with. So today, we’re here to reinforce our genuine claim to reelection.
“I have picked a female deputy in the person of Lady Chinyere Ihuoma Ekomaru to add value to this ticket.
“I expect the women to appreciate this gesture as my genuine way of appreciating their innate strength to make contributions to the growth of our State.”
