“I want to appeal to our people that this forthcoming election is not for us to vote for cubes of sugar, tubers of yam or bag of rice. Our politics has gone beyond that level. If you vote because of these materiel things, the consequences are such that development will be far.

“Let me remind our people that there are two parties in Nigeria, the party that believes that government should work for the people and the one that believes that government money must be shared among some people and put into individual pockets”, he stressed.
