Eight months ago, fate beckoned on me to take on the mantle of leadership of our great country following the death of our leader, President Umaru Yar’Adua. We honour his memory by striving to sustain the dreams that we all shared with him for a vibrant Peoples Democratic Party and a prosperous peaceful nation.
Last September, I declared my interest to seek the nomination of our party to contest for the presidency of our great country. I together with vice president Namadi Sambo and with your continued support, we secured a fresh mandate to confront the many challenges that have befall our nation.
I ask for your trust so that we can continue,
