Dumo Lulu-Briggs, the governorship candidate of Accord political party in Rivers State says he has not been governor since because he was not a regular politician.
He said that if he was like other politicians, he would have done what they do to be in office.
Speaking in Port Harcourt during an interactive session with students in the state organised by the ‘We Agenda Student Community, Lulu-Briggs stressed that one of the reasons he wants to be in government was to see that the next generation of the state gets good education.
According to him: “You know my antecedents, unfortunately, I am not a regular politician. As a matter of fact, some people say that I am not even a politician.
“If I were a politician, I probably would have been the governor a long time ago. Because I would have done the things that politicians do. But because I do not want to be that governor that will fail you, I chose not to be the regular politician.
“By the special grace of God, when we take over the government, it will be clear to you that I am not that regular politician. I have the best of intentions for Rivers youths because they are our future.”
He promised to run a transparent administration, adding that development would be brought closer to the people.
