A Nigeria that inspires hope and fulfilment among its people, a Nigeria which has equal opportunities for all especially job opportunities not such that depend on who you know, a Nigeria where good education counts ,a Nigeria where everyone can move freely and sleep with your eyes closed ,a Nigeria where justice prevails. Nigerians want to see these realities practiced in this country and you both have the vision and qualities to effect these changes Nigerians are looking for.
“We have no doubt as a party that you will both harness your vibrancy, intellect, wisdom and leadership qualities to deliver the message about that New Nigeria we envision.you are coming with a message of governance that provides, solutions to problems, governance which is goal oriented not one that is lacking in direction and purpose, a message that will create change and modernize the country for posterity.
“We wish to use this moment to thank and praise the vision and foresight of our National Chairman Dr Iyorchia Ayu our candidate HE Alh Atiku Abubakar, members of the NWC, BOT, all groups of our party faithfuls at all levels and grassroots members who participated in the election and selection process of our Presidential candidate and his running mate Dr Ifeanye Okowa.
