“I must have to confess that I am humbled by the fact that the National Executive Council (NEC) have chosen me to lead the union at a time like this. Though the responsibility is not an easy one but with your cooperation, the job will be made easy for me.
“To this end, I assure all NULGERIANS that my eyes and mind are already focused on the future considering where we are now and fixed on where we must go, having in mind where we are coming from.
“In fact, NULGE is more than a space that we occupy. NULGE is a way of life that speaks of liberality of spirit and a commitment to excellence in all facets of human endeavours. If this describes your outlook on your relationship to fellow comrades, the Union and society at large, then you are a pure and true NULGERIAN. Therefore, I urge you to join hands with me to move the Union forward”.
On the unity of the union, the acting President said “This is a clarion call to all of us to be strong and unite believing that togetherness we will uphold the principles of Ibrahim Khaleel as we know he stood for peace and unity.

” It is my humble believe that even in death Ibrahim Khaleel will be proud that he left behind strong and verile foot soldiers, dogged in the attainment of the ideals of the founding fathers of our great union of which our late leader upheld and pursued till his demise. I believe that togetherness we can achieve this feat”.
Meanwhile the new leadership of the union would soon be organising the National Delegates Conference (NDC) to elect new leaders that would run the union for a period of four years.
“The new leadership shall kick start the process of transition without delay. This was perhaps the last official task expected of our late leader before his demise. Therefore we shall keep the flag flying. Also, the union’s activities will not be halted but will be on course”.
