16. NHR “In His Own Words” “The $100 million we’ve confiscated from spammers and other defendants is the least that cybercrime has cost our country. Our economy has lost hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign investment because our credibility and the trust of the international community have been affected. Nigerians can’t even use financial instruments as basic as mail orders; if it comes from Nigeria, it’s suspect.”

17. NHR “In His Own Words” “When corruption is king, there is no accountability of leadership and no trust in authority. Society devolves to the basic units of family and self, to the basic instincts of getting what you can when you can, because you don’t believe anything better will ever come along. And when the only horizon is tomorrow, how can you care about the kind of nation you are building for your children and your grandchildren? How can you call on your government to address what ails society and build stronger institutions? "

18. NHR “In His Own Words” “I’ll bring justice to our people, I will unify our people, I will bring security to our people, I will stop violent crime – kidnapping, armed robberies, piracy. I will stop it. I will stop corruption in our country, I will confront poverty, I will improve education, I will build health institutions that we do not have to go out for medical attention”

19. NHR “In His Own Words” “People should look and see what I’ve done in this country and see whether indeed I’m good enough to do again or probably even do better. I have worked, and I told you I have served my country for 25 years, and those things that I have done are visible, are evident and now that I have come out to say I am a free person and I'm joining politics and I have refused to join the party that I believe is the problem in Nigeria today – the PDP”

21. NHR “In His Own Words” “But for me the zoning thing is rubbish, in fact the agitators, those who are calling for zoning are just saying so, so that they want to continue to do the mess that they have been doing in our lives, and zoning will give them the power and that I think is also wrong, I do not believe in zoning that is only going to bring incompetence into the Nigerian political leadership, I disagree with that”

22. NHR “In His Own Words” “Today, when I look at Abuja I feel sad because billions and billions of money is sunk into Abuja, but nothing productive, it’s just a very conspicuous consumption that has no progress, nothing new coming into our own economy. Abuja has no solid industries, but you go into the houses, you go into streets, you go and see the cars that are being driven on the streets, so sad, these are the basic things that are showing that things are not working, we must find a way of reversing it.”

23. NHR “In His Own Words” “I worked with Obasanjo in my capacity as a public servant who had a chance to set up an agency of government. He supported me and I am very grateful to him for that opportunity and the chance. I never knew Obasanjo before then and after the exit … we didn’t have any relationship again”

24. A NEW NIGERIA IS POSSIBLE…YES KE! “Whatever you are, you must find a place in your heart and in your own time for you to contribute to make a Nigeria that all of us will be proud of”

25. A NEW NIGERIA IS POSSIBLE…YES IT IS! “When I reflect on the history of our country and the dreams of our fathers, I am convinced that Nigeria has a glorious future ahead. But that vision, a vision to make Nigeria the giant of Africa and a global contender can only be achieved if we work together to make it happen. Friends and compatriots, this is our time… If you join hands with me, we can move this nation forward” LET’S DARE TO DREAM: LET’S WORK FOR THE NIGERIA OF OUR DREAMS!

26. Conclusion A NEW NIGERIA IS POSSIBLE! …YES KE! A NEW NIGERIA IS POSSIBLE! YES IT IS! YES IT IS! YES IT IS!
