serve Nigeria.
“It’s all about service, it’s nothing else. Think wisely,
get committed to your thinking to serve the nation and bring progress and
prosperity to the lives of Nigerians.
“It’s good for the country for so many of us to aspire to
want to lead, we’re not abandoning our nation. But there’s only one chair and
one possibility. We will do that.”
