FCT, Abuja - Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, a new entrant into the 2023 presidential race under the All Nigerian Youths Reoriented Initiative, has declared he has the mandate of God to contest for the position.
Oguntoyibo made the comment during a recent interview with the Daily Sun newspaper, adding that he is the best man for the job.
Asked what experience qualifies him for the office of president of the country, Oguntoyibo said:
“I am not indicating interest to run for Nigeria’s presidency to fulfil a personal desire or ambition. It is something I am doing because of a divine call. I am saying that the decision to run for the office of the president is not about Olufemi Ajadi alone- it is an instruction from above.

“So, when journalists ask me my greatest qualification for the job, I say God. And when you have God in anything, you have all.
“Why I am not going for the House of Representatives or the Senate is because that is not what I was instructed to go for, doing so would be acting on my own desires. So, I can tell you that I do not have the divine authority to go for any other office other than the presidency, for now.”
Asked if he is intimidated seeing the calibre of other contenders for the presidential office in 2023, he said:
“I cannot be intimidated. The only reason that should make me be afraid is, one if I am going on my own. Two, if the other contenders are bigger and stronger than the person who said I should go for the office. If not, then I should not be afraid.
“I am someone who respects what the creator has instructed, that is what is most important in life, but that does not mean that I do not have other qualities for the job.
“First and foremost, I am a Nigerian, who has been playing his role in the development of humanity in his own small but impactful way before now. I am an entrepreneur, with employees working for him, paying my tax and paying salaries that sustain families.
