“I want to especially thank the Executive Governor of the state, Chief (Barr) Nyesom Ezenwo Wike for his support and fatherly leadership which enabled us have free, fair and credible primaries across the state.

‘’I also thank you, the delegates for having to stay here for hours. You have continued to demonstrate the confidence and love you have in me. For this, I say a very big thank you”, he said.

A former Works Commissioner in the state, Dekor also thanked security agencies and INEC for what he called a yeoman’s job, assuring that he would always deliver on his legislative duties, oversight functions as well as his social corporate responsibilities.

“I say this with all sense of respect, not just because I am a sitting member of the House of Representatives but because our people know their leaders. They do not know the existence of any other party other than the PDP, and history will always repeat and not reverse itself, come 2023”, he said.
