It is a game, it is like a football match, with all the skills that you have, but at the end of the day, in a democracy, the final determinant, is the people.

“Let me again thank the good people of Bayelsa State for the peace that we have in the State because security is everybody's business. Security is not only for security agencies, as much as the security agencies in the State are doing their best, the individuals will also contribute their quotas to enhance the security and the peace of our State and all of us, particularly in the city of Yenagoa, if you see some that will disturb the security and peace of the State, "Say Something," and I am sure the security agencies will respond.”
