He said, “I am a PDP member. I am a member of the PDP that’s my saying enough is enough. We will destroy this PDP and rebuild the PDP for a new Nigeria.

“They tell you Oga done talk. The system has spoken. We are tired. We will put an end to it.”
Umukoro said it is people like Omatseye Nesiama who are well trained and well travelled that they need as representatives.
“For the cause of this election, I am not a party man. Am an observer.”
Umukoro, however, complained that they’re politically backward in Essi layout in Warri, appealing to the people of the area not to be afraid of any intimidation during the forthcoming election but to come out en mass and vote for Omatseye Nesiama.
Earlier, Omatseye Nesiama affirmed that he was still in the race and that there is no going back, vowing that he is ready to work and make a difference at the Senate.
