I’m bringing hope to Nigerians, says 45-year-old presidential aspirant

The aspirant of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) emphasised that he was in the race to restore the hope of a prosperous nation.

“I bring hope to the many hopeless Nigerians, I bring hope again to many Nigerians both home and abroad who have lost hope in this nation. Our country can still be great again,” he said.

He said Nigeria could be fixed after going through years of turbulence as there were human resources to achieve it.

“No doubt, our fathers have failed this nation and it is time for them to drop the baton, they have run the race and failed us, it is time for us, the youth of this nation to rise up.

“It is time to sacrifice something for this nation. This suffering must stop. Enough is enough,” Joseph said.

He urged Nigerians to be smart and not be deceived by politicians with gifts before the 2023 elections.

“We’ve protested for so long as youths and patriots of this nation since the time of the Ogonis and we’re still protesting. We’ll no longer protest in the streets, but with our PVC to vote the right leadership.

“I’ve never been a politician and I don’t want to be one. I just want to lead a movement of people to fix a nation that has everything but nothing works,” he said.
