“my heart bleeds for this country, to be very frank because in this quest to be the candidates of various parties, I got exposed to the nakedness of this country and the insincerity of this country and I saw a people that are driven by money. The measure of how strong you are is driven by how much you have and I began to ask a question, where did all these monies come from? Which of us has companies before? Which of us has N100million before?
“When we talk about capacities and qualities of who can take this country to the next level and I said look, it comes to the issue of equity, fairness, and justice, you cannot rule out southeast and you began to say who are the people that are capable to rule this country? And I said okay, let us leave out the issue of fairness, equity, and justice.
“There is what called gratification infraction ratio and that is the all you have gotten, public funds over the time tables you have delivered. Let’s see how you were and I see some of them as very insincere. You have put in nothing and yet you are deceiving Nigerians and I thought that by now, Nigerians should be tired of promises”.
