it to those in need. We came to this world with nothing, we will return with nothing.“Whenever you see me happy, it is not because I have much money in the bank, it is when I see people who are happy for what God has used me to do in their lives.”
He said: “The joy of this award is that, it makes me to remember a man called President Musa Yar’Adua, the man who in 2009 implemented the policy of Amnesty in the Niger Delta, which brought about the peace we are enjoying in the region.
“I want to therefore dedicate my award to him, because he paid the prize for peace to be restored to the Niger Delta. And the Vice President of then who also became our president later – President Goodluck Jonathan, and every other promoter of peace in the Niger Delta. I am optimistic that by the grace of God permanent peace will be restored to Niger Delta region.”
