What are the three items you will change about Nigeria if you grow to be president?

I will strive to accomplish these three key items. Very first, I will strengthen our educational program. Second, I will improve economic growth and fight corruption. Final, I will make certain that everyone has equal and fair therapy in our society.


The future of our good nation is at stake, the future of our children is in jeopardy. The resources of our country is in peril. We should do anything to reverse this downturn of events. Issues are not going badly for only one tribal entity but the worsening of the state of affairs impacts Igbos, Yorubas, Hausas, and Fulani. This is why I’m begging you to comprehend that we are all in this with each other, to bring back our country from the brink. All young children of Nigeria have to be in a position to access excellent good quality education and decent education. All youngsters of Nigeria have to be capable to access excellent but also reasonably priced health care.


We have to alter our attitude. I have observed how politics can be used to make us afraid of each and every other and make us turn on every single other. I know how hard it will be to bring about modify in Nigeria. I know how tough it will be to alleviate poverty and repair our schools because its not just a function of revenue. The challenges that we face in Nigeria now demand a new vision for tomorrow.


What do the youths stand to obtain if you are elected to the highest workplace in the country?

Youths hold the energy to push the old government out and away from the way factors have been to a much more productive and prosperous Nigeria. The majority of our population is youth and if we can stand united , we can develop and create a viable structure for our nation.


Many of you have shared with me how hard issues are in Nigeria. The individuals in our country think that we desperately need transform and I have good hope and faith that the challenges we face can be overcome if the youth join hands collectively to bring unity to the country. This is our time to bring extraordinary alter for ordinary individuals.


The question for our generation is this: How will we strengthen our democracy? How will we bring peace and unity to our nation at a moment when our challenges seem so large and our politics appears to divide us by our ethnicity.?


How will you address the perceived concern of marginalisation in Nigeria that is threatening the country’s unity?


That is an additional purpose I’m operating for president, to address the situation of ethnicity and marginalization which has turn out to be rampant across the country. I will be in the very best position to bring individuals regardless of their religion or ethnicity to move the nation forward in terms of developing jobs and providing security for life and house of every single Nigerian. As an alternative of hunting at ourselves as Igbos,Yorubas,Hausa, Fulani or what ever our tribe may be, we require to commence hunting at ourselves as human beings and stand for Nigeria. I will not waiver in the pursuit of peace, security and the unity of Nigeria. Let us resolve to focus on what every of us can do for the sake of our frequent future. Now is the time for all of us to do our aspect and bring peace and unity to our country regardless of all our divisions and disagreements, our hesitations and our fears. I know the anxieties that are out there proper now. These struggles are the purpose I’ll run for president.


Marginalisation demands to be addressed not only via policy changes and development but also by concentrating efforts for these who are in most require and have the least resources to assist themselves. There are hundreds of dialects, tribes, and religious groups in Nigeria and some of these groups have more say than other individuals which is not ideal. This is where locating popular ground is incredibly vital and deepening our democratic roots will be of utmost significance. It is only via a accurate democracy that the voices of the marginalized can be heard and they can have a say in choices that are produced that impact their every day lives.


What is your position on the challenge of restructuring compared to our present technique?

If elected , the initial factor I will do is to pass a bill to restructure the government whereby we will give more energy to the state and local government. The federal government will oversee the economy, defence and foreign policy. There is a have to have to create state police. We require to alter our constitution so that it will accommodate all individuals, inclusive of the minority groups so that it will strengthen our national unity and peace. Restructuring and decentralisation of energy will not solve all of our challenges, but I’m positive that it is the pathway to peaceful improvement and unification.


Why do you consider you will be the very best individual for the job?

What sets me apart from other individuals is my clear vision and focus for Nigeria. I can make hard choices and sacrifice in order to enable the lives of ordinary Nigerians. I know that I can unite our nation and look for the typical superior for all of us and push our nation to be the really very best it can be. I am operating In the service of a bring about considerably bigger than myself and I will do what ever is vital to serve my nation. I have continual focus, perseverance and will hold myself accountable for my actions.
