While fielding questions asked about his political ambition, Jamoh said in January that he had been called by his people to serve them at the state level.

“I love the maritime industry. I have a great passion for it and I can work in it for the rest of my life, but my people want me to serve them at the state level. I will not fail them. It would be unfair to do that so I will avail them of my services at the state.

“If they also want me to serve them at the federal level, I will also not disappoint them; I will go and serve them. So, it is not only about what I want for myself but what my people want me to do for them,” he said

Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) updated the schedule of activities for the general election, giving political parties between April 4 and June 3, 2022 to conduct primaries

INEC in Section 84(12) of the newly signed Electoral Amendment Act has also said that “No political appointee at any level shall be a voting delegate or be voted for at the convention or congress of any political party for the purpose of the nomination of candidates for any election,”

The implication of this, is that Dr Jamoh, as well as other political appointees seeking election must resign before June 3
