The former Anambra State governor said the objective is to build a capable government focused on tackling Nigeria’s major challenges, including insecurity, poverty, education, healthcare and hunger.
He stressed that national resources must serve all citizens, not a privileged few.
According to him, “On Saturday, February 7, in Asaba, I met with the ADC and the Obidient Movement and stressed the need to unite as one family in pursuit of a common goal — building a new and united Nigeria.
“Nigeria today requires unity across regions. We must come together to install leadership with capacity, compassion and commitment to address security, poverty, education, healthcare and hunger.
“Our politics must shift from transactions and rent-seeking to using national resources to create shared prosperity. In the new Nigeria we seek, a child of nobody can rise to greatness without the support of any cabal.
“A new Nigeria is POssible.”
