He stated that pupils do not have access to education facilities in the State owned model primary schools across the State.
”Whenever Nyesom Wike wants to campaign, he goes to the schools I built. Children could no longer go to school because there is no place for them to study. The schools are littered with grasses”.

He stated that his opponent for Senatorial position George Sekibo has not done anything for the Senatorial district during his stay at the Senate.
