“There is hunger in the land, despite Nigeria having arable land and varieties of foods and crops.

“There is insecurity in the country, despite an elected government, with the police, the Army, the Navy and the Air force.

“Our children finish school and there are no jobs. Is it a wonder that there is crime everywhere? Roads are in terrible condition. There is no public water supply, no electricity and all the necessities of life. But we have a government. We have billions of Naira in cash and assets. I now ask, What is the missing link?

“Distinguished Nigerians, the missing link is selfless, sincere, and servant-based leadership, guided by the highest sense of equity and fairness. That is what we in the NNPP have come to offer.”
