I want to assure you that there is hope for Nigeria.

“As we are approaching election years, let us choose those who are capable, competent and have capability to give us good leadership, deliver good governance and change the fortune of this country for the better.
“Let us shun violence, thuggery and hooliganism, let us open our eyes and elect the people that will not renege on their campaign promises, the people that have the fear of God and finally, let us defend our votes,” Arc Hassan Giwa said.
