I will advise they should engage on issues based campaign rather than dragging my name into unnecessary issues to find favour and impress their leaders.

“There was never a time that Comrade Mulade Sheriff gave permission for anyone to put up any publication in respect of Gbaramatu Voice newspaper on issues of victimisation by major political figures in Warri South West Local Government.

“The Gbaramatu Voice newspaper has often been diligent in their reportage.

“I am quite unaware of any claims from all the parties involved. The newspaper house (Gbaramatu voice) to the best of my knowledge has creatively and constructively been the voice of our people.

“I have been hard working, carrying out my core professional duties having no time being aligned with primitive gossips and publications that could subvert our collective drive as a
people.

“The Gbaramatu Voice Newspaper is an objective and authoritative mouth piece of the Ijaw nation and to the best of my knowledge, the newspaper has not given any sign or reason for me to doubt their authenticity.

“The recent publication which claims that certain politicians will sanction the Gbaramatu newspaper for their support in furthering my political quest is not from me and my campaign organisation.

“I am the hub of democratic norms and practices in Warri South West.

“I am exemplary in my conducts and I take delight in the promotion of our sociocultural norms and values.

“My interest to serve the people is born out of my desire to contribute to the development of my immediate constituency.

“I hold the interest of my people dearly to my heart. For very many years I have been a vanguard of a better environment and good governance for our people.

“My vying for the house of Assembly are not for pecuniary gains but for an ardent desire to adequately give good representation to my people in Warri South West.”
