He advised Benue people to consider Akume as someone who had arrogated to himself powers belonging to God.

He described Akume as a confused man who, while presenting his profile at the Senate chamber, contradicted himself by saying he became Governor in 1949 and 1979.

He claimed that Akume was jittery because he knew the people of Benue North West were already prepared to retire him come 2019
