He said he was in politics not for the
sake of greed but for selfless
reasons.
He noted that although he had Igbo
parentage, he was a detribalised
Nigerians who had benefitted from
the country’s union.
He said: “I will not run in 2019 if
President Muhammadu Buhari will be
running. Even at that, I will not also
run at any given time unless 10 million
Nigerians endorse me.
“May I remind all of you that my joy
this evening has no bounds for the
singular fact that the Hausa, Yoruba,
Igbo, Ijaw, northern minorities,
western and eastern minorities,
Muslims and Christians and others can
sit down in a roundtable and speak like
members of one family. If only for this,
my mission for this nation is today
achieved.
“I am an Igbo man with Igbo
parentage. I was born and raised in
the north. The north gave me
education, guaranteed my childhood,
even when I was not worthy to be
called anybody in this world.
“I did all my schooling— primary,
secondary and tertiary— in the
northern part of this country. I
finished and needed to be successful
and wealthy. My encounter with
someone from the South-West gave me
the financial empowerment.
“So you can see that in my person, I
have no choice whatsoever but to be a
detribalized Nigerian, having been
born of Igbo parentage, raised up by
the North and empowered by the
West. Nigeria remains my
constituency.
“Most of you may not know that I am
not in politics for self-aggrandizement
or as a means to seek livelihood. I am
in this job for the glory of the job, not
for the profit and for the honour of this
job, not for the wealth in it.

“I believe that one day it will become a
manifest truth that somebody
somewhere really cared for this
nation.
“In my quiet time have I gone through
lamentations, thinking about our
nation and particularly. So is the youth
of Nigeria, believe me, if our youths
are not alright, our nation can never
be alright.”
Meanwhile, the presidency countered
a claim by Governor Okorocha that
Buhari will return from London in
two weeks.
Okorocha reportedly said this after
he led other governors to visit Buhari
who has been in London for months
following an undisclosed ailment.
The presidency, according to Punch,
said there was not fixed date for
Buhari’s return to Nigeria.

The billion coins ( TBC)

Image
TBC Coin TBC coins are the most valuable currency in the world because they are the first “Abundance-Based” currency and during the wealth creation phase of our global currency roll out you have the opportunity to become Millionaires and Billionaires automatically from a single one-time purchase of TBC coins. Kringles are the smallest change of TBC coins and most of the Community prefer to refer to the units of value in Kringles instead of TBC. The main thing to understand is that we, by private agreement, will never let the price of our coins go down in value. It is a very simple Membership Agreement, but it is the “secret sauce” of an “Abundance-Based” currency. More info How to Buy and Sell It doesn’t make sense to share abundance with someone that already has abundance. So, it doesn’t make sense to sell TBC coins to an existing member that already has TBC coins. There are thousands of us here as TBC members, but there are billions...
