“This election will decide whether you believe you and the rest of the country are entitled to good things, only a progressive, compassionate and responsible government can do or you want to hand over your future to people like Mr Privatization PDP or Peter the Stingy. .

“One man wants to sell all the public assets of Nigeria and its future, so that only he and his tight club of conspirators can enjoy the flesh of the country. Whereas Mr. Pelit wants to do to the nation what he did to Anambra. He allowed the people to suffer while he was saved and hide money and basic needs.They refuse to save people so they can save money.

“I tell you, whatever the government has should not be kept from you, so that it can be used wisely for your benefit. This is the highest goal of the government. Only this will bring a greater tomorrow. Anything less will lead to we failed.
