In his words: “We went around the country in 2013 to campaign for Buhari. Again in 2019, we stood with him and he won”.
“He will soon finish his tenure. I am saying they should not just leave the post; they should hand it over to me. I cannot demand it alone. I must seek your assistance.”

“I am competent, capable and fit to pilot the affairs of the country to greatness.”
