Governor Benedict Ayade of Cross River State has said that
if given the opportunity to lead the country as president next year, he will
bring his vast knowledge in almost all fields of study, exposure and
international business connections to catapult Nigeria into a first world
economy.
He said he would concentrate his intellect, energies and
knowledge to harness the numerous sought-after natural resources which are in
abundance in the country to rake in streams of income.
Ayade spoke in an interview with Channels Television,
Thursday night.
He said it was not in his place to throw himself up for the
position but that if the APC decides to give him the ticket to become the
party’s candidate in next year’s presidential election, he would completely
transform the country.
“Nigeria needs someone like me with uncommon intellect, vast
knowledge in every subject under the sun, exposure, learning and international
connections to change the country’s narratives.
“I think I am not somebody who likes to throw himself up,
but nevertheless, if the party agrees that power should go to the South-South
for equity and balance, I will run.
“If I come in as President, I will use the same intellect
and magic used in Cross River to build endless factories without much of
State’s resources. I will make it clear that I don’t have money to throw about.
“I can make a major difference if I become the APC
candidate”, he maintained.
