“I am going to transform the agricultural business of Benue state.
“We will encourage people to produce in mass agricultural products and when they are ready, the product will be sold at the stock exchange. So we are going to take agriculture to the next level.”
The Deputy Governor continued, “Benue State is perhaps the most educated state in the whole of northern Nigeria and we are going to continue with this level of education. I’m going to make sure that human resources development will be next to none.
“The most important thing as of today, not only in Benue state but in the entire country of Nigeria is the terrible state of insecurity that we have in the nation. My governor has stood very firm. He has stood in resistance to the incursion of insurgents. Thank God he has used me and taught me, I’ve learned a lot from him and all that I will need to do when I become governor is to deploy all that I’ve learned”.
