“ God loves this country and we are very lucky . My appeal to you , my sons and daughters is that let peace return to this country . Nigeria is not going to break .
“ If all of us will cooperate , Nigeria will move forward . We are all one and we should regard ourselves as that .
“ Cooperate with the national government. I believe in the corporate existence of Nigeria , ” he said .

“ You have seen our problem . This is not politics. I beg all of you to join your voices with us as we request for a Special Status for Lagos State, ” he said .
