He further assured the people of Eket Senatorial District that he would be a servant-leader in a way that unites the state and country in confronting and surmounting the challenges of statehood and nationhood where everyone would have equal stake as emphasis would be placed on youth development, sustainable environment, quality health care, quality education, women empowerment, fight against marginalization as well as a coordinated information channel and politics of integrity and accountability.
