He described Uzodimma as a pillar of democracy, and due process.

He commended Uzodimma for the Road Chain network, rehabilitation of health facilities, rebranding of Civil Service system.
Also, the governor was extolled for taking heed to the plights of pensioners and Workers.
According to Obodo, those were some of the great attributes of a Leader, being able to listen, and take adequate steps when necessary.
However, he charged the public against pull-him-down syndrome, and campaigns of calumny, reiterating that no State of Nation thrives without a collective support of the citizenry.
