He said:

“Under the APC, the trend has since reversed. People cannot wait to run away from Nigeria. All of you have relatives, children who are running away to the United States, Canada.
"I have my own. I have refused any of them to go abroad and reside because I don’t believe it. We have to stay in this country.”
