The Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) federal lawmaker noted that he came under attack from the public and members of his party for visiting Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State soon after assuming office.

Speaking on the recently passed Electoral Bill, the lawmaker expressed the optimism that the democratic credentials of President Muhammad Buhari would make him assent to the bill
He however added that that should the president withhold assent, he would work with like minds in the National Assembly to override the president’s assent.
