“He is always with the people and for the people, and he is one who is very cerebral.
“For anyone thinking otherwise, I do not know, but my Deputy is very capable.
“He has all the capacity it takes to perform his functions, and he understands what is good for Benue, and that is what he is doing exactly.
“So if anybody is eating and dreaming, there is no vacancy. I love him, I enjoy working with him.
