Nation that would guarantee effective followership.

challenges imposed on the citizenry in the last two decades.

believe and are working towards a new Nigeria and taking our country back have
the same conviction like me.
“In this regard, I appeal to all in this endeavour to allow
us maintain focus to achieve this all important mission.
“Let me state here that a good number of us in this
liberation effort have a lot to give and contribute based on knowledge acquired
over time in excess of thirty years, that will give solid foundation to Labour
Party Government at all levels in Nigeria from 2023.
“Dear countrymen and women, following my appointment on the
campaign council of Labour Party, there were reactions on the social media
about my pronouncement concerning a video shot at the scene of the ENDARS
incident at Lekki toll gate on 20 October 2020.
“Everyone that commented in any way was right based on the
information at their disposal and individual analysis. Personally and
professionally, I worked with the overriding interest of Nigerians at heart
based on the oath of allegiance I swore on commission into military service
which is sacrosanct.
“I sincerely shared in the pains of that breaking news through the social media as it were. On this note, I want to assure all that more effort will be put in, so that all assertions can be cleared convincingly from appropriate sources.”.
