“It is an open secret that we currently have security challenges in Nigeria. So, we need someone who can secure Nigeria for the sake of the future of our youths.
In addition, If you consider the votes the PDP got in the 2019 election, for instance, it clearly showed that the north central is owned by the PDP because the votes we got there were more than two million.
“But, in the northeast, where the PDP presidential candidate came from in 2019, we only had 800,000 votes. That shows that if PDP decides to pick the presidential candidate from the north central, it can win the election.
