“My administration will move this country from consumption to production and bring the dividends of good governance to their door steps.
“I will not only stop corruption, I will eradicate poverty in every State of the federation because our youths will be properly taken care of and they will no longer be travelling out of the country for greener pastures.
”The good people of Ekiti, please come out and vote for Labour Party in the forthcoming presidential election.”
The Labour Party flagbearer also stated that he and his vice, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed are the most qualified candidates in the presidential race.

“I and Datti are the most qualified, when it comes to education, you cannot compare the education of me and Datti with any other group, this job requires physical and mental energy. I and Datti are obedient to it.
“This year’s election must be based on competence, we want people who are competent, who understand the problem of our country.
“Let nobody tell you it is his turn, it is nobody’s turn, it is the turn of Nigerian youths to take back their country and we must not allow anyone to buy our votes in the coming election,” he said.
