According to him the era of political thuggery in the state is gone and the only way any politician can win election is to perform, bring dividends of democracy to the people who elected them and to appeal to the people based on their antecedents.
He assured the people of Kogi central that he will continue to do his best adding that no amount of threat, intimidation and attack from any quarter will stop him from bringing development to the senatorial district.
