Quotes Restructuring the country along the lines of true fiscal federalism is inevitable. As someone from a minority tribe I know that division of the nation is not in our collective interest. War is also not an option. We must continue to dialogue until we achieve justice and equity. Francis interview response to the question 'There are agitations from some quarters for restructuring of Nigeria as the solution to the country’s present predicament, what is your take on this?' Age and health are not on the side of Mr. President. He should do the needful. Those using his position despite the obvious situation do not love this country and should be sanctioned. Francis interview response to the question 'Some persons see President Muhammadu Buhari as not capable to rule Nigeria, hence the hardship ravaging the country, do you subscribe to this?' Better economic management of scarce resources. The present team managing our economy has failed. We need a team that is bipartisan, knowledgeable and truly patriotic. Francis interview response to the question 'What do suggest as the way out of the present recession?' I am in prayers about this and presently consulting leaders in the three local government areas that make up the constituency. I will not hesitate to heed the call if this process confirms the need. I am grateful that our people find me worth of service. Francis interview response to the question 'A group, Committee of Graduates of Ambrose Ali University has been on the news urging you to contest for the Ughelli North/Ughelli South/Udu Federal Constituency, what is your response to this call?' I am not aware that politics is a dirty game. I only know that the present players in Nigeria play it dirty. To me being a clergyman is community service hence my ministry has impacted thousands of lives with the gospel, education, health care, business and through my NGO Riverine Communities Health Organization (RIVCHO). So I see no challenge in marrying two community service vehicles. I am called to serve my people and that is what I will do. I will do politics differently from what people are used to. We shall set a standard that shall become a benchmark. And when we get to office, transparency will be such that we will need no marketing. Francis interview response to the question 'How do you intend to combine both politics and clergy work, knowing fully well that politics is a dirty game?'
