"When law speaks, all this asawana will die. And the law has spoken, let me tell you something and people should have that rights. I jaw does not constitute the majority of the Nigerian Delta. People must speak out the truth, heaven will not fall, we only die once not two times. Ijaw does not constitute majority of the Nigerian Delta, what nonsense everyday you wake up, Ijaw will do this."
"In Akwa Ibom, Ijaw cannot be Governor, in Delta, Ijaw is the minority of the minority, with all due respect to our late elder statesman, Pa Edwin Clark, he has never produced Ijaw man to be Governor, he has never. The only place an Ijaw man can solely be Governor is in Bayelsa State. Not in Edo, not in Rivers where they are minority of the minority. it is out of our benevolence, live and let live, we picked an Ijaw man to be Governor."
