Why I am a force in Nigerian politics – Kola Abiola

The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Kola Abiola, has said that he is a force in the Nigerian political space because he understands the country very well and has the credibility to lead it in 2023. 

Abiola stated this during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.

He said the PRP identified with the common man, adding that the party is well-known and acceptable at the grassroots level.

Asked why he thinks he is a force in the Nigerian political space, he said, “I am whom you see; I have travelled all over Nigeria either by road or by air. I have done politicking in this country since 1979 particularly 1992/1993.

“I understand Nigeria. I have worked with very senior people and I have learnt from them over the years. And I have honestly believed I have the intuition, the patience and the credibility to serve Nigeria.

“Everybody knows who I am, where I came from. There is no missing gap in my history. It’s a matter of understanding the responsibility you are about to carry. I was given enormous responsibilities from a very tender age. And I don’t take things beyond my control.”
