“It’s very tough for me to tell how my day begins. I wake up as early as 5’oclock in the morning to observe my prayers as a Muslim and I believe that’s how my day begins. And when my day would end, honestly, I don’t know. This is because there are various activities one contends with on a regular basis with no specific timelines for them. I just ensure that when my day starts in the middle of it, I find time to have like two to three hours nap. I do that regularly if not I would breakdown.”

“One way I motivate my staff is that I take in their ideas. I make them know that, look guys, I’m not your boss, and we’re in partnership together. My cleaner, driver, and other staff, politics has made me to learn from them and they learn from me as well. So I think that keeps them going because they feel they’re a stakeholder with me despite being a lawmaker they know they can also have their way with me. This is because before I take any action, I seek their opinion first and they also seek mine too. So, it’s a round work. I operate a joint approach to working with my staff.”

“Yes, of course, I can’t do everything myself. I’m coming from a private sector background where you meet your targets. That’s what I have introduced into my work schedule too as a lawmaker. And so far, so good it’s working for me. I’m a team player too.”

“I do read a lot and that I can say I imbibed that from my legal background. Another of my hobby is playing football. But since I joined politics, I have never had time for that again. And I used to be an Arsenal supporter but of recent I won’t say I lost trust in them but I have been laidback.”

“When I was fully in private practice I had everything structured for me like my time, schedules and how I relate with people and all. But you see, in politics, unlike in private practice, you can choose who you can relate with like a certain clientele and all. But in politics, you relate with anyone that comes your way. Both the high and mighty, people of various attitudes and you learn to be patient. Politics has taught me to be patient, to learn to manage and accommodate people no matter their shortcomings or faults. This I think I have learnt in politics. Because I used to be very angry with my leader, Honourable Kamal Bashua that why are you taking rubbish from these people and all that. And also just like our National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who receives different insults being hauled at him for what he practically knows nothing about and I would just be wondering to myself that what sort of humiliation is this? Because you know it’s painful when somebody accuses you of what you know nothing about. I have seen that with several senior leaders. But when I stepped into politics, then I tried to understand where they’re coming from. Not just understand but it is not an easy task because you’re in a field where a lot of people don’t appreciate what you’re doing but then you got to keep on doing what you’re doing. You just learn to manage because you’re for everybody. I’m still learning to take everything on my strides.”
