As a leader in Nigeria, it was very important for him to patronise resorts located in the country.
He said, "There is a saying that charity begins at home. It’s very important that we have home grown tourism. I am very passionate about domestic tourism."
"Why should I go abroad? Why? Does it have any economic meaning? No. It does not and I am an advocate of anything Nigerian; I walk with it, I sleep and wake up with Nigeria, it rings in by brain and I am Nigerian to the core."
