“We will shock Nigerians; today, they can say it is impossible but tomorrow they will congratulate us. We are already consulting and I am already looking forward to the campaigns which will be a big shock to those who are in doubt over what we are able to pull out”.
Speaking further, he advised the federal government to invest more in education and find amicable way to resolve the lingering strike by university lectures, adding that education was crucial to the progress of the country.
He added that progress, peace and harmony can only be achieved when there is fairness, equity, and justice which he said would be demonstrated by Kwankwaso’s candidacy.
“I have been a pastor for 33 years and directly involved in church politicking which is important after spiritual responsibility.
“I have been able to manage people from different tribes and regions and this is a needed ingredient, especially in a time like this in Nigeria where there is no trust and division, which is why we are coming with a healing movement”, he added.
