“This announcement confers on me deep sense of recognition and worthiness of this rare and privileged appointment, but regrettably, I am unavailable at the moment. I am aware sir that the public office is the political oxygen of the profession of the politicians and a deluge of office seekers shadowing His Excellency at the moment are enthusiastically waiting for this kind of announcement but I sincerely beg to be absolved for now.
“Permit me to reiterate that I remain an active member of our dear party and of course an ardent supporter of His Excellency’s passionate drive to assuage the shackles of poverty, ignorance and infrastructural deficit that have bedeviled our state.
“Your Excellency Sir, my indisposition wouldn’t have come to the public glare if I was contacted before the public announcement.
“Kindly accept my position in good fate. May God grant His Excellency the wisdom to steer the State aright.”
