He emphasized the importance of voting for leaders who are not driven by money or personal gain, but are dedicated to justice and the well-being of citizens.

According to him, the choice of the leadership affects everyone, including the security personnel who are obliged to carry out the lawful orders of the elected authorities.

One last piece of advice to Nigerians

He further advised voters to prioritize character and humanity over publicity or popularity when choosing their leaders.

In his words: “I’m not saying you don’t have to vote for whoever you like, but please, vote for the right person.

So if you want to vote, vote for a leader who doesn’t love money but loves justice. Vote for a leader who doesn’t like publicity but loves humanity, so everyone goes…”
