Osagiede said that he was joining the race under the APC because of the numerous achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The economy will be centered on agriculture, we will explore solid minerals, encourage innovations from the universities and the government will give short loans to intellectuals who are ready to break new grounds”.
