He said those coming with the issue of ethnic narrative are out to sacrifice competence on the alter of tribal sentiment.

Sadoh explained that there was no time that the zoning the governorship seat between the three senatorial districts of the State was ever discussed nor agreed.

“For the avoidance of doubt, since the 1999, aspirants from the three senatorial districts have always participated in the primaries of their political parties.
