“The President’s view is that we must not play politics with the health and welfare and prosperity of our people. No politicking. That is why despite the fact that this is not an APC State, all of these benefits have been given to these people, the indigenes of this state, because they are Nigerians.
“We intend, as a matter of course, to ensure that this state benefit maximally from everything that the federal government of Nigeria is doing. I want to again just bring the special respects of the President, Muhammadu Buhari, who of course, as you know, has been a strong advocate of good governance and who very strongly believes in the royal institutions, and believes in respect for royal institutions.
“We are fully in support of any form of restructuring that benefit the people of our country. That is why, for example, we have recently signed into law, the President actually just signed this into law, a bill which enables Houses of Assembly to be autonomous; so that their finances are autonomous. This is some form of devolution of powers. We are also keenly supportive of anything that gives a measure of independence for states so that the states can realize their own potential and do very well for themselves in every way. And the President is keenly supportive of all of those things. So for us, unity is important, peace is important.” – Vice President
