“As a person of faith, I strive to live by principles that promote peace, integrity, and goodwill. I do not wish to hold grudges or engage in actions that could generate bad blood between myself and others. It is essential for me to act in a manner that aligns with my values and fosters positive relationships.
“Additionally, I am currently recovering from a devastating accident that unfortunately claimed the lives of five people and had a debilitating impact on me. My primary focus at this time is on my health and well-being. Engaging in a demanding role such as the Director of New Media in governorship election could potentially hinder my recovery process. I must prioritize my healing and ensure I am in the best possible condition before taking on significant responsibilities.
“I want to assure the party and our candidate that my decision to decline this offer does not diminish my commitment to the APC and our collective vision for Edo State. I will continue to support the party and our candidate in any capacity that aligns with my current situation and capabilities. I am confident that our team will emerge victorious in the forthcoming election and wish everyone the best in their endeavors.
