“Nigeria, as a nation needs mercy of God, the leaders and the led are guilty. The unceasing flow of the blood of helpless Nigerians is a great abomination. Do we fear God in this nation?”
The retired military officer lauded the The DEFENDER Online Media and urged the management to keep up the good job.
On media giving groups categorised as terrorist by Nigerian courts still being allowed relevance by the media, the former governor said, “The Fourth Estate of the Realm in its arduous task of reporting should be partner in progress with the Government.”

He was later moved to become the Military Governor of Ondo State in August 1998 where he became the last man in uniform that handed over power to the civilian Governor Adebayo Adefarati on May 29, 1999 and was retired by the Civilian Administration of Olusegun Obasanjo, when in 1999 he came up with policy to sack any military officer that had ever served in political office.
