Quotes "Nigeria’s democracy is making very appreciable progress. From where we were in 1999, we have made geometrical progression and I think we should be grateful to God that for the first time in a long while, we have enjoyed an interrupted civilian rule." "There is nothing as good as democracy. I think we have had it so good, so far. I know some people may have their own biases about this. But if I may ask, are we where we are supposed to have been? Maybe not. Are we where we were before May 1999? Certainly not. We have moved on. Just like a child who would walk and fall, then stand up and walk again and then later on, start running, Nigeria’s democracy has been work in progress." "As a politician and parliamentarian, I believe in lobbying, I believe in the principle of give and take. The ultimate goal for every politician is to get results for their people." "For me, we need to restructure, and the first port of call should be our character and attitude. I read recent reports where the immediate past president, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, was quoted as saying that Nigerians needed to restructure their mindset first. I agree with him, somehow. But I will add that Nigerians need to restructure their character and attitude first while we wait for other forms of restructuring to happen."
