Ayo Fayose has formally declared his intention to fight for the position of Nigeria’s president in 2019.
“Today, our country is faced with a myriad of problems,” Fayose began.
“Our economy that was the fastest growing in Africa when our party was in power has gone comatose with the present managers who are completely clueless.
“Scarcity of food last experienced when President Buhari was a military head of state between 1983 and 1985 has returned to the country, with Nigerians going to be daily on empty stomach.
“Most worrisome is the fact that our country is now more divided than ever before, with the unity of the country being threatened due to nepotism, religious bigotry and favouritism.
“Exchange rate that was 197/dollar in 2015 is now over 360/dollar. Regrettably, a bag of rice that was N7,000 under the PDP is now N17,000.
“Instead of creating millions of jobs per year as promised, millions of jobs are being lost daily with many companies folding up. This government has successfully wiped off the middle-class.”
“By the grace of God, I am the longest-serving governor in Nigeria today having served under three presidents; Obasanjo, Jonathan and Buhari.
“I can expressly say that I am well equipped in terms of knowledge, experience as well as physical and mental capacities to hit the ground running as soon as I assume office as President of Nigeria in 2019.
“With me as your president, you can be rest assured of a government that will be responsive to your needs.
“You are guaranteed a federal government that will relate with all Nigerians not on the basis of ethnicity, religion, political affiliations and the percentage of votes but on equity and justice as citizens of the one nation, one people and one destiny,” he added.
