“They are not doing anything new. I have been doing this type of empowerment in my own capacity for many years. Without being immodest, I can say I do it better than the government. It is good but this government is doing last what they ought to put first.”

“If the APC government had done this when they came to power, Nigerians would not have cause to be angry at them when they need another term.”
