He advised that the vision and courage of the Ogoni 9 should rather inspire us to greater things. He spoke on the need for all activists to keep up the struggle, as it is not over. He said, The Nigerian government succeeded in killing the messenger Ken Saro-Wiwa but could not kill the message . The message, which he brought to the Niger Delta, is what has resulted to the demands by almost all ethnic groups in Nigeria for change. According to him, the message, which was initially seen as protest by a minority group of Ogoni, has now germinated into the struggle we find today in the Niger Delta of Nigeria.
Every community now complains of marginalisation and demands self-determination.
He emphasised the need for Nigeria to review its democracy in other to govern the people properly. According to him The Nigerian system alienates the majority of the people from the process that affects their daily lives. He wondered why a democratic government would enforce on its people a constitution which was written and handed down by the military. This constitution titled, Decree No. 24 of May 1999 Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria and signed into effect by Adulsalam Abubakir is a document handed down by the military. He re-echoed the fact that this document cannot be the legal framework for which a democratic government should be governed hence the need for a national conference to review this constitution.
