Okoko said revealed this when he paid a visit to members of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly in the assembly complex Thursday.
He said “I have come to declare my utmost loyalty to this house and to say that PDP remains supreme and whatever decision or outcome of the primary I will not leave this party, also to intimate honorable members of my intention to run for the biggest seat in the state which is the governorship seat, it will be unfair for me to disregard this house and not come to seek blessings from you and talk on a few things I want to do”.
The Harvard Business School graduate with an intimidating CV so far among the 21 aspirants is currently and successfully running his business in oil and gas.
He assured Bayelsans that he would build a refinery through public-private partnership in the state if he emerged the governor of the state.
He stated that he would maximize the state’s oil and gas resources to build a modular refinery to advance development, employment generation and boost the welfare of the residents of the state.
He added that if elected his administration would pay particular attention to industrialization, quality health care, and education.
Okoko said, “ No man likes the sound of Ak-47 we will create an atmosphere and opportunities to engage our youths, we will bring them together. So, I am in the race to render service in a greater capacity.”
In his responses the speaker of the House of Assembly Rt. Hon. Tonye Emmanuel Isenah said, “Is good to start like this, whoever that wins will have a robust relationship with the house so that the assembly can function.”
