"God brought a divine leader, who in spite of coming from another senatorial district, saw the need to meet the infrastructural gap in the Eastern district that has always produced the governor of the state. 

''Because of this, our people who are people of gratitude appreciate that gesture and then made up their mind to repay good for good. 

''I think today at the end of the day, we will all be happy. Our slogan is let's do more. We will do more," Onoja added.

The deputy governor expressed optimism over the high turnout of voters adding that Governor Bello's second term in office would yield more dividends of democracy for the people.
