I am a fervent follower of the All Progressive Congress and I can boldly say that this party has the attribute of a good governance for a better Nigeria, in which this party has been committed and faithful to the objectives of its founding fathers.

However, either I serve as a politician or as a normal citizen to the Nigeria at large, a better Nigeria has always been my greatest goal.
