He said the reception was specially put together by his immediate family to express how grateful and delighted he is to be considered for the party ticket and promised to give his best when elected. Ugiagbe said, "my leaders, I want to sincerely thank you all for standing by me since the commencement of the campaign, is not easy leaving all your personal important engagements to be with me. We've toured all the 12 Wards together and by the special grace of God everything have been made easy by your deep commitment to the project".

Speaking further, Ugiagbe sued for continue collaborative efforts in building a strong united party were leaders in one voice push for the development of the local government area. He said, "the only task before us today is continue to have a united house like this.

God and our Ancestors will help me be that beacon of hope and unifying icon".

In his words, "I'm dumpling the Labour Party today with this crowd you're seeing here, this is Ukpato project we're talking about, only a fool will join outsiders to fight his brother. Be rest assured of our sincere commitment to this project, many will still be joining before the election"
