The actor said:

"This is why ranching is both desirable and inevitable. How can humans and animals be struggling for a right of way in the Federal Capital City of Abuja?”
“We must move on to the 21st-century system of animal husbandry to reduce tensions between passers-by, commuters, farmers, and herdsmen.”

“When I see that Enugu-PH express roads are being rehabilitated when I remember all other things Buhari had done for the South East and remember that PDP was there for 16 years and did nothing for us."
