The lawmaker who is a governorship candidate of PDP in the 2019 general election pledged to make adequate security his priority if elected in 2019.

According to him;

“what happened is so painful and I have been asking myself, why Samuel? I was almost approaching Abuja when they called to inform me on what happened to Samuel. He was the owner of the house. My house was his own. Anytime I am not there, he was always there, taking care of the place.

“That is why when we left for Abuja, he was there taking care of everything. He was steadfast, consistent and humble and I will really miss him.”
