“We had President Olusegun Obasanjo who did very well and
handed over to late Umaru Musa Yaradua, who unfortunately died, and his tenure
was completed by his Vice President Goodluck Jonathan. Unfortunately, Goodluck
Jonathan lost the election to the All Progressives Congress, APC; he lost to
Muhammadu Buhari.
“We lost that election because of what’s happening today,
there was a lack of discipline in the party at that time, coupled with the
massive propaganda and lies by the current party in power now. We couldn’t make
any headway and we lost the election.
“Buhari came in making promises of change. Buhari’s eight
years have come and gone, and it’s left for Nigerians to frankly determine if
they were better off or worse than then.
“I believe this country nosedived and changed for the worst.
Because if we look at the economic parameters that were left by Jonathan and
what happened during Buhari’s time, most Nigerians say they would have
preferred Jonathan’s time.
“The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, we thought would win
that election. Nomination was done, and then a crisis started after former Vice
President Atiku Abubakar was nominated to carry the flag of PDP. Some Governors
felt they were short-changed.
“It’s obvious that the APC under the current leadership
doesn’t have a direction. All the policies, whether they are economic,
political or social have fallen flat on their faces. And so, Nigerians need a
viable alternative, which is achievable with serious and focused leadership,
something I can provide.
