He lamented the state of affairs in the country today, blaming past and present leaders for running the nation aground.
To him, the present system of government has no definition but an admix of confusion orchestrated by a host of confused mostly illiterate persons who lacked the zeal, love and tenacity to lead themselves or families let alone a nation like Nigeria.
He urged all the patriotic sons and daughters of the nation who believed in the nation not to despair as he was willing and ready to harness their great budding potentials to give the nation’s growth a real push when he wins the election next year.
