He urged Nigerians to team up and pray for the success of the present administration, adding that only politicians can change the fortunes of Nigeria positively.

On his assessment of his first two weeks in office and whether he offered him any advice, the elderstatesman said:
“It’s not yet time for advice. We are watching him do good. Nigerians are happy. By the time we hear any complaint, the time will be ripe enough for giving president advice.
“I merely watch the perception of the country, very excellent. People are happy with him. And that is why I boldly come during day time.”
