“Let me reiterate that as we celebrate this democratic milestones, we must fully reflect on the lessons of it, and in likewise, accept the reality that growing a nation to a desirable height in all ramifications, is totally dependent on the continuous sacrificial inputs of her citizenry. The dire ingredients therefore as we march on, hinges on selflessness, forthrightness, piety and patriotism by all, even beyond the realms of all strata of leadership.

“I encourage my constituents, nay all Nigerians to keep hope alive, support leadership and participate fully in all democratic processes. We must admit that our gains since 1999 till date, far outweigh our challenges. Together, we shall achieve our dreams at all levels; at senatorial, state and nation.

“Long live Akwa Ibom North East Senatorial District!
