“One thing that Nigerian people need to understand is that it is easy for people to sit down and abuse their leaders when things go wrong, thinking it is politics that they are playing. I don’t play like that. I always assume that there must be a reason why things did not go the way they were supposed to go and sometimes when I have the opportunity to meet such leaders, I ask questions about what happened maybe I will be a leader tomorrow so that I can learn from some of their experiences, respect some of their contributions and I can thank them for their efforts because we are talking about a nation with about 220 million people.”
