Today, I understand what our problems are in this country and I have the solution to every problem Nigeria has.”

As a ‘War President’, I will take war to those who believe that the life of an average Nigerian or ordinary man on the street doesn’t matter. I will bring an end to Nigeria’s insecurity and youth restiveness. As an ‘Economic President’; I will bring Nigeria out of it current economic travail. I will introduce taxation mainly for the elite who are living large and have mortgaged Nigeria’s resources. In one year, I will introduce economic policies that will provide employment for every Nigerian. My focus will be on economy, security, food, health , shelter, power and distribution for our people in Nigeria”.
