And I was also part of the decision-making in the Senate, or at least part of those that voted for those decisions. I am not regretting any decision that I took.

Source, in full Interview response to the question 'APC secured a two-thirds Senate majority after your 2025 defection. That helped pass key Tinubu bills. Do you regret giving APC that majority if you now say the party lacks internal democracy?'

You see, let me give you an example. Yes, there is what we call constituency projects. These are not constitutionally backed projects, but they are just conventions that were accepted.
But I still think we should allow him to continue because the future is at least brighter than it was before. Don’t forget, this man came and took this country when it was almost bankrupt. And up to today, most of our budgets are on borrowed money up to today.
And again, it is very unfair, not only unfair, very wrong to say you will judge a legislator based on projects, bearing in mind that it is not the legislator that is doing the projects. This is an executive arm of government procedure.
Let me first of all correct this notion that when you are in the Senate, you are there to deliver projects. That is first of all a wrong notion. And unfortunately, almost everybody is going with that notion, including you who are supposed to know it better.
So, how are you going to judge him? So, I think it is very wrong to say a legislator should be judged based on projects that he brought to his constituency, because it is not within his power to control those things.
