He said, “We need to fix the economy so we can be proud all over the world, and as far as the agenda for the new government is concerned, we are all watching.
“Is there going to be a change and improvement, especially security? IDPs. Schools. Improvement of the economy. These are the issues and the new government has a duty to serve us and do what is right.
“I think we should put out rulers on notice that it can no longer be business as usual. We understand that politics is a difficult but noble act which is why leaders must sacrifice themselves for the common good. Is that the idea of politics in Nigeria?”JAMB Result
