However, it was learnt that his decision to quit active politics may not be unconnected with the way and manner the government dissolved their membership  board of Ambrose Alli University(AAU).

When contacted, Emiohe,  told newsmen that his decision to quit was purely personal and to also enable him to attend to his chain of businesses and family.

In his words,  “I cannot continue like this while my family and businesses need my attention. My brother,  I have had enough of insults in politics, not at my age. Just imagine the way our board was dissolved with shame. My family and businesses need me. I wish the PDP the best.”
When asked if he may opt for the APC in future, the former politician answered in the contrary. 
“APC or PDP, iam done with politics. I just want to concentrate on my businesses. Thank you.
