Speaking during the declaration, Kekemeke said he was better equipped for the governorship race than he was four years ago when he contested.
The APC stalwart added that he has gained enough experience to enable him to lead the state to a place of socio-economic prosperity and peace.
Kekemeke said his ambition to become the state governor was not born out of trivial and momentary impulse but out of his conviction of building a better state.
