\n
My decision to run for the number one office in Nigeria has nothing to do
\nwith being from the north. Frankly, I do not subscribe to the primitive and
\nregressive idea of power rotation and sharing and find all these
\nconversations and attacks of ethnic lopsidedness as distractions,
\nunconstitutional and pathetic. I believe in efficiency not color and I am
\nsure most of the electorate who have suffered the same under “their own”
\nand “others,” are beginning to think this way too.<\/p>\n

I also did not decide to run for office because I am a youth and I know
\nthis election will be won by us youth as it is our time. No, it was not
\nthis convenience that made me decide to declare for the office of the
\nPresident in 2019.<\/p>\n

Likewise it is not because I am a Medical doctor and believe Nigeria
\ndeserves an intellectual with a real college degree in contrast to what it
\nhas suffered in the past. I am not running because of my Medical degree,
\nMasters in Science or my body of peer-reviewed academic work.<\/p>\n

Nor am I running because I am a weathered advocate and it is clear Nigeria
\nneeds someone in touch with the struggles.<\/p>\n

It is not because of any of these cheap “advantages” that I am running.<\/p>\n

I am running for the office of the President because I am a revolutionist.
\nYes, this is why I am running. Because Nigeria is on the path to an
\ninevitable revolution as happened with the robber barons vs Unions
\nrevolution of USA and the French revolution and the Arab spring we
\n“missed.” Like them, in Nigeria, about 30 systemic corruption-made greedy
\nNigerians own all the promise, urban-valuable and arable land in Nigeria
\nand there is simply no opportunity for the people in spite of any
\ngovernment’s best efforts.<\/p>\n

Paid slave servitude to the cabal has been the best offer of the 4th
\nrepublic. Things have not worked and all survivors have seen this. 40
\nmillion unemployed youth are frustrated and the Tsunami waves are rising.
\nThe government of the day keeps crushing discontent over the dysfunctional
\ncountry and youth rebellion with massacres and secret mass burials, from
\nOnitsha to Zaria. We are on the precipice of the revolution and if a
\nrevolutionary mind like mine does not take over through the democratic
\nprocess and lead a bloodless revolution to decimate the embedded corrupt
\ncabal, it will be on the streets and it will be ugly.<\/p>\n

This is why I am running for the Presidency in 2019 and this is why I will
\nwin by the special grace of God and together we will move Nigeria forward
\nand out of the clutches of Nigeria PLC est. 1960, that sponsors both top
\nparties today, killing us as it enjoys permanent immunity and all the
\nopportunity.<\/p>\n
