“I feel happy being among the party leaders at the grassroots. My election reflects the party’s nationality. I advise my other Igbos to try to play along at the party. We are not excluded from the party. We are fully accommodated,” he said.
He thanked Gombe State Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya (also referred to as Muhammadu Yahaya) for appointing an Igbo man as Special Assistant on Inter-Community Affairs, calling it evidence of the administration's and party's commitment to inclusivity.
