According to him, he advised governor Ikpeazu against handing over the governorship position come 2023 to the people of Umunneato, rather, power should go to Abia North senatorial district as the Charter of Equity demands.
"when the governor invited me to his house to tell me that he wants to have the governorship remain in Umunneato which is Osisioma, Isialangwa North and Isialangwa South, I told him no. it is wrong for you to do that. It is the turn of Abia North. All you need to do is to look for somebody in Abia north to become governor. After 8 years, it will return to Abia central. Now my brothers in Abia central of Ngwa extraction will now contest with Umuahia axis to say when it came first to Abia central, you took first, now allow us; we will concedeÔÇØ
