“I do not have a prophetic power to predict the future but we certainly have in us the ability to create the future that we want."

Offering to unite Nigeria if given the chance, the presidential hopeful promised to relegate tribalism and favouritism.

“We will provide a leadership where everyone is free and equal; we will provide a leadership where people sees themselves as Nigerians first, and as Ibo, Yoruba, Ibibio, Fulani etc as second."

Promising Nigerians value-based leadership, he added: “As I stand before you, I offer you a value-based leadership anchored on our national ethics as outlined on chapter two of section 23 of our constitution."
