The problem wasn’t practically going to the President to ask him that I wish to contest. There were many other problems I went to go over with Mr President. “I went there to talk about solutions to our insecurity in the Southeast, and on our airport project.

I went there to let him know that our airport project will be prepared by May 2022 but we required financial help to buy some devices.”It was the last thing I mentioned to him. “The concern of running was by the side, and I discussed it to him as the dad of the country and father of our political party.
