QUOTABLE QUOTE-3 When I last led this nation I launched a War against Indiscipline – today, I pledge a Battle for Hope.A battle against the dark forces of corruption and despair that have held our nation hostage to their greed for too long.We simply cannot afford four more years of PDP’s corruption and the corrosive cynicism that it has bred.The time for hope, the time for belief, is now.You cannot trust the corrupt to end corruption. You cannot trust the selfish and self interested to rule in the best interests of the people.You cannot trust those who believe hope is a tool of government rather than a human right to plant the seed of belief.Let’s be clear. This is not a time for continuity. Failure does not deserve continuity. Incompetence does not deserve continuity.It deserves change; that is what the nation deserves and that is what we will bring. Make no mistake - as is always the case for those who seek to bring change, it will not come easy. And today I ask for your votes and support as I make these five pledges to the nation:I will honestly govern Nigeria in accord with the constitution and rule of law. I will bring all resources necessary to end poverty through ending corruption, promoting broadly-shared economic growth, investing in our country and creating jobs. I will tolerate no religious, regional, ethnic or gender bias.I will return Nigeria to a position of international respect through active and wise foreign policy. I will select the best Nigerians for posts in my government.
