“When I left as minister, we have N157 to a dollar. Today, it is N600 to a dollar, we are heading to N1000 to a dollar, if we are not careful. Is that where we want to go?

Setting the records straight, Gbagi, said: “When Jennifer Oma Adasen, is the first Commissioner from this axis, I was the first minister from Ughelli south axis. In 1998 towards 1999, I sponsored Akpor Pius Ewherido, to the House of Assembly. So, it is not true that these people here have been bedevilled by bad government.
“The young man who just spoke Hon. Paul Etaga, was brought to my house by Chief Oguma, he said he wants Etega to be chairman of the local government, without hesitation, I endorsed him, that was how he became the chairman of the local government”, he recalled.
