Following the forthcoming 2023 general elections, the Presidential candidate of the Accord Party, AP, Professor Christopher Imumolen, on Monday said he is competent to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in next year’s election.
Imumolen noted that Nigeria should maintain a break from the past, urging fellow compatriots to see him as a breath of fresh air.
The youngest presidential candidate said the best way to a better and a more sustainable future is for Nigerians to reject the old order of what he called clueless and directionless leadership by choosing a man with fresh ideas.
Imumolen told reporters in Lagos that he would lead Nigeria into an era of self-actualisation and all-round development.
IsL source also reports that the Accord Party candidate chided the old breed for poor leadership, stressing that the time for generational shift has come.
He said: “Nigerians have almost cried themselves hoarse for good leadership for so long now, without any respite.
“For so long, we have had leaders who cared more about themselves than for the people. For so long, we have had self-serving leaders who would rather line their pockets with the country’s common wealth, than work towards the collective good.
“For so long, we have had a sect of leaders who have continued to recycle themselves to such extent that it was leaders we knew when we were growing up that are still struggling to remain relevant today, even when it is so clear that they have passed their prime.
“But thank God that people like us have been given the grace to offer ourselves to Nigerians as ones better prepared to lead this country to the next level.
“My message to Nigerians, therefore, is for them to carefully consider the options before them and choose those they know have the capacity and wherewithal to lead them out of this quagmire of going around in circles, stagnation and dryness.
“And talking about capacity: I think I, Professor Christopher Imumolen, am well prepared to lead Nigeria and offer the people hope again. In my private capacity, I have been positively affecting lives and bringing succour to the depressed and underprivileged through different self-sponsored initiatives, schemes and programmes that have gone a long way in bringing smiles to millions of faces.
“I am in no doubt that I’d do more if given the chance to be president of this great country,” he said.
