He said: "the first time he saw IKPEAZU was when I took him to the governor after the 2015 elections for the sole purpose of attracting contract to his company EXPRESS CONCERN LTD . By 2016,he had jumped to APC because he did not realise his interest. So how could he have supported the Governor's elections in 2015 and 2019?'.
