“We have  lacked quality leadership in Nigeria. It doesn’t matter that all those that have governed us are men. It doesn’t make any difference in the quality of life of Nigerians,” she added.

“I am that candidate with the  competence and capacity to solve the complex problems that seem to have bedevilled us for so long.

“We cannot afford to have many more millions of Nigerians to join more than 87 million that are already poor.

“I have always been known in this society as one who has a strong voice for the fact that Nigeria can be better than it is now. Nigeria has no reason to be a failure and that is why I am running in this election.

“What I need is that, this society must be mobilised immediately to see how we can come out of the whole failure and incompetence they have thrown us into.”

“We will send signal to those that have been coming to our country to kill our people. Our government today acts as if we are a weak country. Those people will get a signal that a new Sheriff is in town,” she added.

She explained that  her governmemt would run a private sector-driven economy as being practised in other climes.

“We will run an economy that is well deregulated, where  the private sector that is supposed to be leading will lead. We will make sure that competitiveness and productivity are the hallmarks of our private sector,” she declared.
