In a February 2009 interview, he expressed support for creation of new states in Nigeria and criticised the Independent National Electoral Commission.
He was among a group of senators who reportedly travelled to Ghana in May 2009 to attend a meeting with some oil companies, which resulted in a senate investigation.
