Giving reasons for his ambition to contest for president, the former secretary to the state government of the federation, promised to run an inclusive government while abiding by the principles of democracy and good governance.
He added:
“I am a young man with all respect and I have a whole lot of energy, so there is nothing to leave for anybody to do for me differently.
