“It is agreed that this time is for an Ohafia extraction ( male or female ) at the Federal House Of Representatives. I stand to support this decision as an Ohafia son and a proud son of the rising sun from the #east# It is my pleasure to announce the withdrawal of my interest and earlier decision to contest the position of the Federal House Of Representative of Ohafia/Arochukwu.

“I took this momentous decision firstly in the overall interest of the great people of Ohafia, and I will, at this moment, wish to support the best possible candidate.

“As a result of this, I will NOT be participating in any of the internal party processes of the said election, starting with the primary.

“I have since communicated this decision to my political GodFather, including all the unions, our Fathers, our Mothers, my fellow Great Youths men and women of Ohafia ukwu both home and abroad,” the statement read.
