Nigeria stands at a crossroads. For too long, promises have been made but not delivered. Citizens are tired of recycled leadership, where the same faces rotate power. What Nigeria needs today is visionary leadershipnot politics of survival.
My vision is clear:
Security: Nigerians must sleep without fear of kidnappers or terrorists.
Jobs: Our youth deserve opportunities to thrive
