My cardinal principle in life is that of Malcolm X, which says that \u201ca man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is why I am in politics and exactly the reason I joined the race to be elected governor of our dear state, that is in urgent need of an experienced and talented administrator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cAnd in the words of late sage Chief Obafemi Awolowo, \u2018Man is the Alpha and Omega, the only dynamic means and the sole end, of all earthly human activities. All productive activities, if they are to be meaningful, equitable, just and human, should be geared to one and only one goal \u2013 the welfare of the individual.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese dignified words energised me and my team to have toured the 18 local government areas, preaching the gospel of prosperity and development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, our train is making a temporary stop to engender peace and unity in our party, the All Progressives Congress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrankly, the hardest part about making this decision has been the fate of the Edo people, who are faced with diverse challenges. They have been more agitated than I\u2019ve ever seen some of them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, I have taken the decision on behalf of Dr. Ernest Afolabi Umakhihe Campaign Organization that, clearly under the present circumstances, this campaign cannot go on. I have stepped down and ready to support any popular choice of our party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy profound appreciation to all those who made material and otherwise contributions to our campaign.
