"This is what we need to promote this nation."

After 2013 attacks by herdsmen in Langtang South left seventy people dead, she urged the Nigerian Federal government to improve the conditions of local roads, so as to make it possible for security forces to arrive in a timely manner.
She has also called for the creation of grazing reserves for Fulani herdsmen, saying:
