 " we just want to say enough is enough , it is time power and policies shift hand to fresh minds , to stronger forte , to people who are ready to move with the momentum of time , tide and changes. But it cannot be conceivable if you are saddled in that position for over two decades? How can you grow? How can you go with the tide of time ? Biologically too, time will catch up with you because you are growing old in that position"
 Refreshment of minds, ideas, psychology, idiosyncrasies will be constant, except for Nigeria. The same circle of people that governed us over 20 years ago are the same set of people who are still ruling us. So, what are they still doing there? So many of them in their 80s ! Are they not tired ? Suffering and smiling is the order of the day which has become our motto, our slogan" He added
