According to him, politicians should embrace attributes that would ensure the sustainable development of the state. "As members of one family what we should do is to give thanks to God for creating the enabling environment for democracy to prevail in the country. Let there be unity so that the dividends of democracy would not elude us," he said.

According to him, all hands must be on deck to promote peace and unity in the state because as he put it: "peace is the pre-requisite for any meaningful development of any society."
