“I have demonstrated knowledge, experience and a great capacity to be on top of issues in the country.
“And this job is about ideas and issues regarding the leadership of our country.
“I have all it takes to be the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“I am asking people of the country to have confidence and respect for that, look at my background and my previous assignments.
“I want to serve the country and serve the country very well.”
The APC chieftain said he has used the opportunity of the lesser Hajj to pray for the country.
“It is a trip for spiritual rebirth. I like coming to perform the Umrah now and then. It is an opportunity to connect with Almighty Allah, Lam ya lid wa lam yulad.
“We need his guidance. Nigeria needs prayers and that is why we are here praying for our country, self and society.”
