“They feel like if you rub my shoulder, I will rub yours. Somebody like me is not going into politics because I want to build a house I have never built, ride a car I have never ridden, or travel to any part of the world I have never travelled to before. My idea of politics is service to the people, and once I am outside that circle, I am not part of it.”

“Rest assured that I will always give my best in the Senate. What I am currently doing and what I plan to do may not meet the expectations of many victims of our national economy. But there will be steady progress until we achieve all our aims. Where we are today is indeed far better than where we were in the past.”

“Beyond my primary duty as a lawmaker, most of the other things I do to offer quality representation at the National Assembly are still being fashioned out. I’ve said this before. In the coming weeks and months, most of what we are doing will become clearer to you.”

“That decision to vote for me is particularly emotive for two reasons: one, it marked the first time in our recent history that Nsukka people truly voted in a national election and ensured that their votes were allowed to count; two, it evokes tears in my eyes whenever I realise that I am the beneficiary of that collective decision.”
