As a committed member of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, Chief Kokori emphasized that considering the mismanagement of the economy by past leaders, including the immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari, President Tinubu should be granted a grace period of at least a year to stabilize the economy.

Reflecting on his past as a labor leader and his dedicated contributions to the nation’s liberation, Chief Kokori highlighted the collective struggle to build a prosperous nation, underscoring the need for unity and perseverance. He emphasized that his commitment was driven by the desire to foster democracy rather than personal gain.

“I spent four solid years in prison. I did everything for democracy. There’s no freedom fighter in Nigeria like we have in South Africa. I used the instrument I had to restore democracy. You think I don’t mind money? I do but I won’t take what’s not mine. I’m a patriot.”

Lamenting the poor state of medical aid in the country and his heath travails, Kokori lamented further,  “My point is: how can a country like Nigeria, in the whole of Warri, the only hospital that can handle kidney issue is Mount Horeb Clinic?

“I wasn’t in coma when I came to the clinic. I went into coma here. I came in here Tuesday. But yesterday, it was too much. I’m 80 years now. I spent 25 years struggling for this country. But how can I know that Warri doesn’t have a functional hospital.”
