Quotes “Prior to my foray into politics, I was in the private sector, consulting in occupational health and safety in Abuja and Lagos. So, you would be surprised that I never set out to be a politician,” “I have always wanted to be a medical doctor, not because I wanted to be but maybe after every quiz competition, when you represent your secondary school and you come out brilliantly, your teacher will say, ‘I hope you will be a doctor.’ I don’t know whether the dream was internally generated or it was imputed to me by the voices of many people I heard growing up. Because if you are doing well in school everybody will suggest you become a medical doctor. Then, I decided to write JAMB and put in medicine that I have been hearing in my head. I was the best student in geography, biology, and physics.” “None of my classmates spent less than 10 years at medical school. But I moved to Human Physiology. I was actually heartbroken but I believe in God and His will.” “I wanted to be a medical doctor but it didn’t materialise. There was no real disappointment. At the point I wanted to leave MBBS to study human physiology, I had a dream and I was praying. I actually went on fasting for 21 days. I was just praying to know the direction God wants me to go. Then, I dreamt that I saw a sun coming out which signified the dawn of a new day, the sun rose. So, when I went there, it wasn’t the sun that came but in the colour of the sun, words of hope came out. So, I said what does that mean? Then God took me to Jeremiah and said there is hope in your end.” External links Category:Politicians from Nigeria Category:1971 births Category:Living people
