He encouraged Nigerians to live peacefully with each other and kicked against vote buying in subsequent elections.

The way forward for Nigeria is to see that anytime you are voting you should stand to defend your vote and you should not go and vote based on the little incentive they are giving you, vote base on your conscious. Because the worst prisoner is of conscious.”

Speaking on the security issues in the country, the senator called on authorities to enforce laws that promote peaceful coexistence and be more proactive in curbing arms proliferation.

“Let there be legislation, Let there be law, Let there be ranches in this nation. All the developed societies have more cows than us but they are not allowed to go on open grazing,” He said.
