The unnamed man refused to be stopped as he was determined to meet the Governor. Pat Hyua reported that the young man first shouted: "gomna wam, gomna wam"!!! (My Governor, my governor." as he made his way to the number one person in the state.

The governor, clearly filled with love and sympathy, ordered his security details to bring the young man to him as he embraced him before taking pictures with him.

Thereafter, the disabled man, was spotted dancing alone round the stadium after the gesture by the governor.
