“Education remains the bedrock of societal development. As a priority, our administration places a high premium on initiatives that advance our state’s progress educationally.”
“If we want this country to move forward, the sub-national governments should not be controlled from the centre. If we want this country to develop, you cannot use the resources from one region to create more local government areas in another region in order to feed that region and then starve the area where these resources are coming from. That is not federalism.”
“We need to work together as Africans and tell the story of how Africans are developing Africa. We are looking forward to a robust relationship with you.”
“Let it not be that this turnout happens only when the governor is around. Even when I’m away, I expect to see this level of participation because it’s for your own good and for the wellbeing of our people and government”
“From day one of my administration, l started preaching peace and reconciliation. Again, l call on Bassambiri to show light where there is darkness. We cannot continue to go round the same process in restoring peace. Peace is priceless and we cannot sacrifice unity on the altar of politics.”
“There is no doubt that Chief Alamieyeseigha deserves and earned the highest level of accolade and honour. While he lived with us and all through the course of his public life, he was outstanding and accomplished. He was selfless and, at all times, placed the interests of the collective above his own personal interests.”
“I will set aside my differences with some politicians for one cause,” he declared. “I challenge every politician or person of conscience from the Southeast who says they want @MaziNnamdiKanu released to stop the rhetoric. Time for action is NOW. Let’s march to Aso Rock Villa.”
“Now we have taken the bull by the horn, and as we speak we are expecting two aircraft, which government has already procured. These aircraft would operate daily flights to Lagos and Abuja. So wherever you have an airport, constant electricity and water, it is as good as any place you stay to eke out a living.”
“This is just the start of many initiatives aimed at promoting economic growth and sustainable development.”
“Having a labour at hand and providing for oneself is a pride to the family and a dignity to one’s self. Begging for survival is low self-esteem and an embarrassment.”
