According to him, "Having served as Chairman, Edo State Library Board – promoting literacy and educational development in our state, and as member who represented Edo Central in Universal Basic Education Board (UBEB) – ensuring that our people's voices were reflected in education policies and also served as a two-time Presidential Delegate Member (2015 and 2023), my experience in both public and private sectors have prepared me to bring a robust, informed perspective to legislative duties."

" I fully understand that the primary responsibility of a senator is to make laws, review policies, and provide oversight to ensure effective governance.

"I will draft and sponsor bills addressing critical areas such as education reform, healthcare accessibility, economic empowerment, and infrastructural development. I will move motions that address pressing local issues like community security, environmental sustainability, and equitable resource allocation.

"I will advocate for Federal government presence, increase federal investment in our district, focusing on projects like roads, schools, and healthcare facilities to engender our socio-economic landscape.

"I will support legislative measures that create enabling environment for youth empowerment, skill acquisition, and the economic inclusion of women.

"I will create constituency offices across the five local government areas of the senatorial district, providing a direct and accessible channel for communication, service delivery, and feedback. These offices will ensure that I remain connected to the needs of my constituents and serve them effectively.

"I will foster strong collaboration with the executive arm to complement its efforts while maintaining legislative independence to uphold the rule of law.

"My decision to run for Senate is anchored on my faith in God and my trust in the collective strength of the people of Edo Central. I am not running for the office of the Senate for personal aggrandizement, nor is it for any inordinate ambition. But it is indeed a true call to serve the good people of Edo Central Senatorial District. I will be your servant when elected.

"I am not running to impose my vision but to co-create a future with you - a future that ensures equitable development, effective laws, and robust representation of our district at the national level.

"This journey is not about me alone; it is about us. Together, we can craft laws, influence policies, and build a prosperous Edo Central that future generations will be proud of."
