In a candid exchange with Edmund Obilo, a renowned journalist, the Governor was asked:

Q: Are you a land grabber?

A: I am not a land grabber. Only an idiot does things the same way and expects a different result. Past leaders tried their best but probably didn’t investigate why certain narratives were being spread. Ironically, it’s the actual land grabbers who call me a land grabber.”
