He said:
“We should not be ashamed to learn from our colleagues on what to do. If we need help, we must seek help from whoever we can get help from and that’s the only way we can develop.
“This is an opportunity for me to call on our leaders, just like I am saying that other States should learn from Rivers state, we in Nigeria must also accept assistance from other countries in order to secure our borders, secure our democracy, secure our place and secure the citizens of this country."

The Enugu-born federal lawmaker noted that while the calls for ceding the presidential tickets of the major political parties to the southeast are in order, he, however, counselled that the zone must engage the northern part of the country in dialogue.
