Insurgency and Insecurity

I have had the rare privilege of serving my country in

Major General and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed
Forces. I defended the territorial integrity of our nation.

I pledge to:

As Commander-in-Chief, lead from the front and not

and environmental and sustainable development.
Commit myself and my administration to the phased
implementation of the United Nations Environment
Program’s(UNEP) recommendations on Ogoniland.
Unveil a marshal plan for the regenerative development

Diversity

Diversity refers to the inherent complexities of the
variations in the social fabric of a people. Elements of
poorly managed diversities include absence of
cohesion, low capacity or political will to address
resulting tensions, weak institutions of the state, in-
equalities in every facet, impunity, breakdown of
mutual trust, rising incidences of violence and total
breakdown of law and order. To quickly reverse this
observable trend in our society:

I pledge to:

Continually acknowledge and consciously equality and
equity in all government businesses and activities.
Implement the National Gender Policy including 35% of
appointive positions for women.
Work with National Assembly to pass a National
Disability Bill, which I shall immediately assent, into

Management of the Economy for prosperity
Every Nigerian deserves to benefit from the running of
our collective resources. We promise not to leave any
Nigerian behind in our determination to create, expand
and ensure equitable and effective allocation of
economic opportunities. No matter the amount of funds
we generate, unless there is an efficient and effective
utilization, it will only create few billionaires. Unless we
fight corruption, the economy will only benefit the
greedy in our society.

I pledge to:

Work with the legislature to strengthen constitutional
provisions to make the meetings of the National
Economic Council more periodic and predictable and its
decisions more binding.
Present annual report on the state of the economy to
the National Assembly and the Nigerian People.
The Preparation of Medium Term Expenditure

Reposition Ministry of Employment, Labour and
Productivity and all relevant agencies mandated to
manage labour dispute and grievance handling process
to ensure pre-emptive strategies to halt the current
frequent incessant strikes phenomenon.

Power

The power sector has become a monstrous
demonstration of corruption. Despite investment of
more than X there is nothing to show but few fat cats.

I pledge to:

War against corruption in the power sector
Tackle the issue of gas availability for the proposed
power plants

youth and not on what is buried under the ground.

political generation.

at least 50% young people.
