\u201cI am grateful for the opportunity to have steered the ship of our great Party, The PDP at the State level from 2020 to 2023, and especially grateful for your support and the support of the National body during my
\ntenure.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy family and I are extremely grateful to Mr. President \u2013 Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for his consideration and for finding me worthy to serve in this capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n
