According to him, leaders must exercise restraint, as frequent quarrels between high-profile figures not only affect their image but also weaken public trust.

I suggest that in any public event, Distinguished Senator Ekwunife should not be allowed to come close to Her Excellency, the Anambra First Lady. Let there be peace.”
