GOD IS GOD!
Brethren, Partners, Party Faithfuls and my teaming Supporters,
Pls it is not a long speech making moment, because already I am so broken in my spirit because of the love I experienced from thousands of people during my challenging moment in respect to this issue. Hence,I lack what to write.
However, just to inform you all that I have formally received the *Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC Form EC 9, completed and submitted it* Also, I have received the *INEC EC 13D nomination form* as a candidate for *Membership, House of Representatives for Calabar Municipal/Odukpani Federal Constituency* from our great party.
Heaven knows we won,
The Party knows we won,
The people knows we won,
Our fellow contestants knows we won,
INEC knows we won and even satan knows we won.
This INEC EC Form 9 and EC 13D form, affirms my victory and as the valid winner of the NDC party primary conducted *on the 29th May, 2026* which was duly monitored by INEC. And also the candidate of the party in the forthcoming, 2027 general election.
After receiving these two important forms, I felt like crying because I never expected it would come this fast though my hope was in the Judiciary and my last uncompromised hope in God to recover this mandate that was freely and fairly given to me by the party members as their flagbearer in the forthcoming election.
Brethren, in earnest, this nomination is not about me, it is about our constituents and a better constituency we all envisage come 2027 through me. And, I promise not to fail by the grace of God.
On the foregoing, with all humility, I wish to thank God Almighty for showing up for me and the people when almost all hope had gone through a special invitation I received on 1st July, 2026, a day I will never forget in my life.
Let me also extend my sincere appreciation to the party leadership at the National, State, Chapter and Ward level for their support and to all those who allow God to use them.
