Summarily, my desire to go back to the Senate is to go and continue contributing in national debate on the things that will make governance in Nigeria very efficient, through the process of lawmaking. The National Assembly can make laws that can make governance good, because anything the parliament does not approve, the executive cannot implement. The President no matter what he wants to do and the National Assembly says no, he will not be able to do it, it is the National Assembly that will bring about checks and balances.

Nigeria as presently constituted needs a very strong and virile National Assembly that is very conscious of impact in the lives of the people, so when government is not living up to expectation, the parliament should intervene.

So, we need very strong representation from the South East, not just Anambra Central, that is why when I was in the parliament, my eyes were everywhere, looking at the activities of government, and how they impacted on the people of the South East, either through neglect or marginalization.
