He continued, “I cannot give up on Nigeria until Nigeria can be up right. I will never back out until good governance replaces what is going on now. Before the four walls of the church, we need to build the ancient ruins in this nation and restore the dignity.
“If Nigeria stands upright, everything will be okay. This is not an ambition. It is not about seeking political power. It is about righting the wrong and ensuring that the destiny of Nigeria is fulfilled.”
