He argued that filmmakers should be allowed to explore various themes and storylines without interference from the government.

“It's arrant nonsense!” Kanayo O. Kanayo exclaimed. “This minister has no work, just like Lai Mohammed. Instead of focusing on pressing issues, they're trying to dictate what we can and can't create. It's an assault on our artistic freedom.”
