What do you think is going to be the outcome of a focus on issues and big ideas that can transform the country for the Nigerian people and what your government is preparing to do for Nigeria using creativity in governance? The first fundamental which I have argued way back to 2018 is that we have to procure good governance at lower rates. My good friend was talking about big ideas. Maybe the idea sounds big but it is also simple. In fact, it is the simplest. It is no brainer. Assume a bundle of goods. A part of that bundle in a basket is security. Let us say 80% is security, 10% is infrastructure and another 10% is some other government deliverables. But you buy these things very expensive. Why? Because in that basket, in that bundle, you have personal interest of those in power. You have group interest of the political party, of the section of the country, of alliances, fraternity. Those interests make you to procure good governance, 10 times more so you have fewer. Now what it means you are procuring 10% of the security of the infrastructure of social amenities that you should have. Because you are procuring 10% and not 100% you are insecure and everything is breaking down as you would say all hell is let loose. The biggest idea now is that to start a new Nigeria you need to procure this bundle of goods, this bundle of good governance, the right quality, the right quantity at the right price. The only way you can do it is to have leaders who have removed these interests. My lecturer is here and we are not getting academic but I want to, because you see, I am a firm believer in what I have just told you. I am all about procurement, I believe in it. There is nothing you can do to Nigeria to turn us around, accept this. And governance about Nigeria has been about juicy contracts, the ability to give out wealth to whom you feel. And that is what Peter obviously said, there shall be no wealth without enterprise. Now in 1953 there was a book by Raghna Narksi, NURKSE and it is available online right now as I speak. The title of the book is called the problem of capital formation in, then there was this thing called less developed countries. Before in the 80s it became developing countries, when people argued against it sir. In that book it was said that the bourgeois class was challenged in growing and so government had to give a push by means of allowing some kind of easy money to the bourgeois class. So what was meant to be like a temporary economic measure, not even a policy, has become order of the day and our national life in Nigeria. If you ask me why is there insecurity, why do we have terror groups, banditry and everything that has gone wrong, I will argue it this way is because we have been procuring our bundle of goods. You need leaders that are strong enough to block out group interest, Peter will be and me. You need leaders who are content with what God Almighty has given them, Peter will be and me. I mean if he didn't take money from an umbrella state, when he was even much younger, when it was easier to do, Governors take money easier than presidents do. When I avoided all I could avoid in reps and relied on my heart and little things that I have. What more can I get in government, look it is more fulfilling to Peter will be, to see the 20 million out of school children again fully employed. It is like you are giving him, somebody as you give him 200 million dollars for the rest of it. Like if you get 20 million children out of school back to school you have fulfilled Peter of his ambition. The same way about me, these are the kind of things, if Nigerians, just one more thing sir. For me if Nigerians can drive all around Nigeria at any hour of the day without fear of being attacked, you have given me all the money I need in this life. Everything you have given me, you have given me. I want to come to you in talking big ideas. I mean I got the privilege of being shown around the medical school, the teaching hospital part of base university that you founded and instead of art. I mean perhaps one of the best hospitals in the continent. I mean what enables that big idea that leads to a private university creating one of the top health facilities on the continent. And how does that translate in public life? Using the same kind of big ideas to dream what seems like impossible and deliver. Three things sir. Legacy is a family legacy that is what we inherited, public service through education. So when in 2000 I have had this idea since I was finishing my MBA in Cardiff in 1996. When in 2007 I saw how brutal the Nigerian political system was when I won and they took it away. I was reinventing myself. I fell back to existing family legacy which is mainly education. Then character. I am not always proud to be saying this but by design, by creation and by character, I am not really a politician but I am doing politics quite okay. I am doing it out of necessity. And my character is that if I speak about something, I do something about it. I don't speak and keep quiet and I spoke about the poor quality of education which is the bedrock of any society. So I am again committed to do something about it. The third one is opportunity. If at that age I was committing myself to a whole new career, I identified areas where the country is desperately lacking and if I continued along that I could agree. Now one thing for sure is that anything I am doing sir I give it my best shot. I simply gave it my very best shot and it turned out to be good efforts and it worked out. It worked out. The university is the only one that has staff and students from every state of the federation in its second year of operation. In the second year of operation. As founder I do not have power to influence any academic affair. That is removal of interest. In the same way that I removed interest in my own enterprise I will be able to remove interest from government affairs. And I will also block. I have never allowed anybody to interfere. At substantial cost to my relationships we will block anybody from unfairly interrupting in government business. We will not bring relatives to come and live side by side with the president to be treating government files. It will not happen again. Peter will be strong enough, he is intelligent enough. He is experienced enough to treat as many files as you can bring. I know he wants to do something. But I will come back a couple of times before you go. In fact you just touched where I was going to because in Nigeria we have not seen a shortage of big ideas. I mean every government seem to have their own very huge ideas. We have seen rice pyramids suddenly emerge in the middle of the capital city and at the end of the day it does not affect the price of rice in the shops and people are still hungry. For a billionaire maybe an oil well is a big idea for them but for the peasants who are trying to do subsistence agriculture they just want to own a small palm oil business. How do we make sure that these big ideas of government translate into the big ideas of those in the rural areas and everybody feels carried along so that all these small, small government is supporting SMEs on TV at the end of the day evaporates and does not crystallize in the various local government areas. How does the obidati administration when they come into power make sure that these things don't happen. I know you touched on a little on it but I want us to elaborate. It is said that we Nigerians answer questions with questions. I will give you two answers. One is a question. Have you ever elected President Obi as President of Nigeria? Not yet. So when you elect President Peter Obi you realize that there are people who do things differently. Now giving you an answer to your question is that as we have said all through our 37 rallies and more that you know us. You hear the name Peter Obi. You know where he's from. You can go and verify it. Schools he attended, his age, his businesses what he did in Anambra state, what he has left in Anambra state how he lived, what service he gave to Nigeria after being a governor all there for you to verify. And this is a far cry from your typical Nigerian political leader. That is the answer Nigeria needs now. That is the answer to you. There are people in Nigeria who are capable. The system has consistently blocked them out. Peter Obi fought for three years and was impeached just for him to go and live 75 billion era. 24 team value to his state. That is what he had to go through. For him to refuse to sign to get governor's take home package. That's what he had to go through. There are people in Nigeria. We have an idea of some of them who bring them on board and work with them. Not everyone in fact, the better part of Nigerians are good. The system does not allow them to operate If by the grace of God almighty, when we succeed we will start yet again building a whole fresh political system under the Labour Party which will make it more difficult for the bad elements to come into governance and much much much easier for the good elements that we know we have. The public system, the banking sector, the organized private sector is freezing away so much good human capital. That can lead. We want to release them periodically to come and serve in government and go back to their private lives. Before we go, I know you have to run a quick final one. We started talking about Ragnar Noxey capital. The great mantra of the Noxey era, this great Columbia University economist from the 50s capital is made at home. Building of capital. When people say for example that P2OB is stingy, I don't know how to laugh whether in English or in Igbo because that is the very base of building an economy savings. Capital is made at home. That was Noxey's ultimate mantra. But since Noxey, a Peruvian economist, Ragnar Noxey has written significantly on what is called the mystery of capital. And the mystery of capital is about how poor countries, poor people have huge assets. But those assets continue as dead capital. They don't get to translate into capital that can build economies because of the absence of what he likes to call representational systems. A good land registry that makes every piece of land you have fungible. You can now use it to borrow money. If your great-grandfather leaves you a small patch of land in your village, it has value that is known to everybody and you can borrow against it. But in our country, banks ask you to go and bring your great-grandmother, everybody just as collateral but you have assets that are dead capital. Now, we need a system of laws, obviously, to open up the country. I mean, he goes on, for example, to give the example of America how that happened. One great big idea is how to make all this dead capital come alive for the people. I know that many big ideas like that have been considered in the Obi-Dachi manifesto. Just give some sense to the people out there that this is going to be their lot and that access will open up and that this economy can grow like a rocket. Sir, I will just add to your concept or argument of dead capital. For the issue of land, aside, there is even something that is more superior to land. Knowledge. There are medical doctors, Nigerian medical doctors right now. There are IT gurus. There are engineers all over the world. That knowledge they carry is a lot of money but there is no space for them to perform. So, in the same way you register a land and it has value, sir, the moment you unlock the potential of a super medical doctor and unleash them to operate in Nigeria, all these IT gurus, financial tech experts and all those kind of things are. These are dead capital that Nigeria has so much out there. So, it is not strictly a matter of law. There are executive orders President Obi can deploy. There is simple fiat of the federal executive council. Most of it will be administrative and when we are going to make law, we will let Nigeria know this is not going to be business as usual. We pass it, we propose it, you pass it, Nigerians are waiting. Sir, but let me quickly come back to the political turf. By this time in two weeks, God willing, declarations should more or less have been made. I have always been an optimist by design and that is because I am a realist. Even when I contested for president in 2018, I was a realist in the context that anybody beside me in the then PDP would be wasting their run or their votes. And I was proven right, PDP lost. Now realistically speaking, 18 political parties, 15 are hardly anywhere to be seen. Out of the three that are left, two of them have misconfigured themselves, one of them hopelessly so in today's world. And I again want to borrow from a very great wise man when Litchif MQ or Biola said you cannot ease yourself in a well and come and drink from it. Why today is on the local not vice president of Nigeria is because what they are trying to make work now could not work in 2015. There is no way on earth it will work today. Yes, APC is on the ballot. Politically speaking, APC is not contesting. They are wasting our time, they are overheating the system and most important is that they are spending the money. They have amassed for this and which is good for them. They cannot die and leave their money. The other party again eased themselves in that well which MQ said. When their principal said that it was the turn of the north in 2015 why is it the turn of the north in 2023? Remember, I am a proud respectful northerner and I wish it was northern turn now but it's not. As you say it is the year of the lord 2023 not 2015 when it was 2015 I was for 2015. So to say the truth of the matter it is not. So let me just say let me conclude there is only one party that is left waiting to be declared as winner of 2023 presidential election. Realistically speaking, politically speaking peacefully speaking, Nigerian speaking this is the world of today global affairs African affairs. You have to build it in Nigerian affairs. In 2019 Obie, Wike, Emmanuel Adam and others who all had the resources, experience, people and everything to contest restrained themselves from contesting. I was not exactly ready in 2020 but because I knew 2023 was not ours 31 I couldn't wait for and I was hungry to rescue Nigeria from the strung global APC I contested how did I read it these are Nigerian brothers and sisters they showed respect to us from the other divide genuine true love respect for Nigerianness and what does it deserve, it deserves another. This is the reciprocity. God Almighty does not make mistake there are countries you have 100% one faith, one language, one tribe and then the God that does not make mistake put all of us 250 together three major ones and two big religions side by side I have faith that God does not make mistake He put us here His verse followed that we should understand each other and do justice to each other this is the federal republic of Nigeria not other countries so this is Nigerian election only one party is politically in place qualified, ready, prepared and configured to be declared winner of 2023 presidential elections brothers and sisters I should submit this is the Labour Party so your submission goes along a statement I once made Tina will be dirty once upon a time we were looking for a way forward for Nigeria we were starting the economic summit group and all of that we had shared scenario planners come and look at what the possibilities are and we ended up with Tina there is no alternative and so there is no alternative to be dirty it seems that Nigeria is headed only in one way God bless you as you go in that direction and we look forward to a new Nigeria because a new Nigeria truly is possible thank you sir thank you so very much
