02:19I see many of you doing well, very focused. And it's not about the difference in languages
02:39and place of birth. No one of us has control of the mother tongue. You are created by God.
02:54You find yourself in Enugu, or you find yourself in Indonesia, inside yourself in Lagos. You
03:03are all a member of one big, huge family. So Nigeria was living in different rooms in

03:34which is not going to be enough yet, but our tomorrow too. That is why the removal of the

05:31effective security of life. And I saw those vehicles, the stress rapid response is the way
05:42to go. It looked like the other name I created in Lagos. Rapid response. Please, continue to
05:55cooperate and collaborate with your son, brother, friend here who is really committed to pushing
06:09the development of a new good state and be a good symbol of southeastern state for that matter.
06:24I'm proud. The question of red line is a work in progress. I inherited some of these critical
06:37problems and I'm going to do it.
06:41Applause
06:49Support for the gas infrastructure. Sure, gas is alternative fuel. And there's no
07:02wasting of time. But invest more in it. We'll do it together. I'm lucky. I have good governors.
07:16No, some may be angry with me locally. But we just have to push. The pig, Yoruba, we say Yoruba,
07:33that the pig will get to the slaughter. But there will be a lot of noise. Live with the noise.
