Sara-Igbe emphasized the karmic penalties that previous governors often face when they disagree with their successors when discussing the role of godfathers in Nigerian politics. He remarked that godfatherism is difficult to eradicate totally because politicians frequently rely on powerful persons for support.
Sara-Igbe also addressed the topic of insecurity in Nigeria, suggesting that traditional rulers be constitutionally empowered to play a more active role in addressing local security issues. He underlined that providing traditional rulers defined functions and powers will allow them to be more effective in ensuring peace and security in their communities.
