The Speaker warned about the repercussions of abandoning this effort and said that since the South had already waited for 16 years, it was only reasonable for the power flow to go there for coexistence and productivity.

He said:

“Sen. Prince Otu, who is from the south, has demonstrated that he is a very persuasive and capable leader. His track record is available for review by the public, and Prince has been very deliberate in emancipating young people while serving in the House of Representatives by building significant infrastructure, creating jobs, developing human capital, building educational facilities, and more. If given the opportunity to be governor, Prince will go even further.”
