“America today is the largest economy of the world and they do not fight over natural resources, the only thing they do is to task.”
“I didn’t go to school with oil money or any natural resources but my parents paid taxes , that same taxes saw me through school for free. When I become president, I will ensure proper taxation through which great countries succeeded.
“The People in power today told you they would restructure the country but failed, they told you what you wanted to hear and immediately they got to power they did a different thing. Nigerians wanted change but they got failure.”
