According to him, ” The choices we make on 25th of February and on 11th March 2023 will be with us for the next four years and will also determine the economic, security, sociopolitical, academic and religious condition of Nigeria in the next four  years, so we need to be careful on who to vote. We must not be part of vote buying or electoral violence. DNKI is only interested in peaceful, free, fair and transparent general elections.”
 “Nigerians have suffered so much. Nigerian youths should Shun Violence, Vote Buying and other electoral offences in the forthcoming elections, I strongly believe that we can get it right this time.”
