He said it was imperative to make the would-be appointees know that they are coming in to work and to sacrifice for the progress of the state and not to see political office as an opportunity for self aggrandizement, or self-enrichment or an avenue to lazy around and lord things over the people in their communities.

Instead, he said he needed people who would come in and soak themselves in the work and as well be ready to make necessary sacrifice for the progress and prosperity. of the state.
