A statement by his Special Adviser, Media Relations, Fidelis Soriwei, quoted the governor as saying that he was not ready to bear the moral burden of supporting any aspirant who did not belong to the Restoration Caucus of the PDP.

He said: “We have agreed to elect a candidate for our party from the Restoration Team. I will fail in my responsibilities and values if I abandon those who have supported me, who have been through the thick and thin with me.”
