The reason why some of my Ikwerre brothers like Sir Celestine Omehia and former Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Austin Opara, are begrudging me is because of my insistence that it will be morally offensive for an Ikwerre man to succeed me or even emerge as PDP candidate for Rivers East senatorial district.
I called Austin Opara, and he sat here and I said look my brother leave it, it will not work. I don’t want to cause a crisis in our system. Amaechi finished eight years as governor, I’m going to finish eight years as governor too. It will be difficult to sell another Ikwerre person as governor for another eight years.
Omehia said he wants to go to the Senate, I said leave it. Ikwerre has gone, Ogu has gone, leave Etche to go.
You people said I should go to Senate, I said I won’t. Allwell Onyesoh could not have stopped me. Yes, today we are the majority, you don’t know what tomorrow will be like. I never did anything to undermine anybody. We must understand that.
