They are tired of mediocrity, selfishness and corruption. They want a leader who can draw up a new road map for Nigeria’s renewed march to greatness. They need a leader who can launch a renaissance and lead Nigeria away from backwardness to true greatness.

“Jonathan’s passion, energy and effective leadership make him the right person to keep the job going. He is a candidate for change. He is set to change the order of business in Nigeria and usher in a new era, ” Obasi said.
