I will secure my victory; the people’s victory, we will win on Thursday Friday, we will win very very big, we will win very very big, we will win very very big and it is going to be the people’s victory.  For sixteen years I have being in the struggle, I was beaten my rain, I was beaten by sun, I had challenges, I encountered armed robbers on my way during campaign, I had accident that almost took my life, my vehicle summersaulted, I lost my armored car, all in the struggle of try democracy in Edo State, all the struggle to make sure Edo smile when I become governor of the state and with God on my side, I am still alive. I have being sharing rice to every home, every family across Edo State in the past sixteen years.”
“I gave I-pads to Edo students in this past sixteen years in company of my wife and Edo people.  I paid medical bills for those that could not pay their bills in the hospitals like UBTH and other hospitals. To God’s glory, I was able to show love to my neighourbour.  Now we are set for victory, someone who joined the party less than 72 hours will come to take the ticket of the party.  It is not acceptable.  I now ask, where our conscience is. You want me to submit my labour for sixteen in vain.  Never.  That will not happen in this state. For sixteen years, I received shame and received disappointment.  God bless my wife, Kate Imansuangbon for standing by me, God bless her tremendously. I remember visiting the late Oba of Benin, Omo N’ Edo, Uku Akpolokpolor, Oba Erediuwa with my kids when they were small, that is over sixteen years now and you mean those sixteen years don’t count. That’s not going to happen.  It is unacceptable.”
“My pain is for the country.  This is not about me anymore; it’s about democracy in this country. This cannot happen during the military era. You jump from APC under 72 hours and you want to get automatic ticket from the party (PDP) I labored for.  Never will allow this to happen, it will be over my dead body, it will not happen. Enough is enough. I am ready to die for this course. We must stop this political hooliganism that people will come to chase you out.  The party leaders are prevailing on me to step down for Obaseki who joined the party less than 72 hours.  This will not happen.  What will I tell my students whom I sometimes teach government in my school?  This is a big shame to this country.” Barr. Imansuangbon added.
