“Although, I am not unaware of the dubious tactics of those contesting against us, I am confident that the masses are now aware that the PDP has what it takes to rescue Nigeria and restore it to its glory days.
” On behalf of Nigerian Youths, I am pledging my commitment to the success of this campaign, to the restoration of Nigeria’s glory days, to the Unity of this country and better days for Nigeria’s future leaders.”
