While addressing journalists shortly after submitting the forms, the development advocate explained that if elected as governor, he will take the state to greater heights through people-centered projects and empowerment opportunities. 

On the issue of consensus purportedly reached by a select individuals, Tumsah maintained that there had never been any consensus on any of the aspirants. 

He explained that for a consensus to be reached, all the aspirants who have purchased and submitted their nomination forms must come together in the presence of other stakeholders agree on one of them and seal the agreement with their signatures which has not been done.
