 And now a 38-year-old Nigerian from Imo State, Ugochukwu Williams, has declared his intention to contest for office of president of Nigeria. Speaking to journalists while declaring his intention in a way at the capital of Imo State, Williams said it's time to give energetic youths a chance to contribute their quota to nation-building. He noted that major achievements in Nigeria were recorded when youths were leading the country. Presidential aspirants said the PDP is the only hope for Nigerians to come out of APC worlds. It is time for the young people to take over. Mr. President has already said the wise side, so Mr. President is going to hand over to a young Nigerian. He's going to hand over to a youth that will better this country. Then when you talk about party, yes, I've been a PDP man for a long time and if you want to make a change, you must belong to a political party all over the world. And I chose to be with PDP and running under the PDP is because we are serious. We are realistic. We are confident that this is the structure that will give us what we want and that is why we don't want to go to a new party that does not have a spread all over the country. Now our accent is PDP give us a ticket and you see people from APC, ABGA and all the smaller parties all over Nigeria with supporters and we, it will be like a tsunami if PDP give me a ticket today. And now joining us live is Prince Benson Davis, his editor-in-chief and the new experience newspaper. Thank you for joining us on our Prime Minister News, thank you, good evening. Now let's take a general look at the 2023 elections. There's parents who have declared interest, Yaya Bello, Bolachi Numbu, Professor Shibajo, Rotima Meji. What do you think stands these men out from one another? Thank you very much. All of them are qualified to rule the country but I would want them to be more qualified. See, if you go back to the public and Moses and Joshua, there are people that have toyed for the country. They've all tried but we need a vibrant person. Somebody who can say, this is what I will do and I will do it, a fearless person. Somebody who have a mental immunity in him. Okay, that's fine. Now, looking at what stands them out, what stands one out from the other or from the others, let's take the candidates one after the other. Let's take the oldest, perhaps, Bolachi Numbu. What do you think stands him out, puts him ahead of others? Then we look at VP or Shibajo, what stands him out as well. In your opinion, what would you say stands Bolachi Numbu out, over and above the others? For me, you have said it, for me, Bolachi Numbu stands out among all of them. I will choose him as one of the best people to rule the country because of one, it's young, vibrant. He has been able to curb the security in Kyrgyzstan. It's about the Bolachi Numbu you have tried but right now we need somebody that will not be taken to hospitals. I understand that, I understand where you're coming from but a lot of workers in his state are complaining that he's not paying salaries. Yes, the issue of not paying salaries is everywhere in Nigeria. The economy is very, very bad. You know what happened in the economy, even right now you see that almost all the states are suffering. Legals state and a few other states. The man has tried. In those days, you cannot live in Nigeria, Legals now you're going to Abuja. At Kogi, there will be problems but now that place is peaceful. The man to govern government from Aoudu, you know that he will not qualify. He lost to Aoudu but faith makes him to that he will go and govern out of Kogi state. And he's there, he has tried his best and he's a youth, he's a very vibrant person. If you think about Nibu and the Red Eye Greeks but they are at least a little bit older. They don't give to the vibrant youth that can rule Nigeria. For once, they don't try somebody like Yaya Bello. His name is Yaya Adoza Bello. Okay. Now, well, so what you're saying is VP of Shibaj doesn't have what it takes to rule Nigeria but Aoudu doesn't take, doesn't have what it takes to rule the country. I told you they are qualified but they don't have one. Why do you say qualified? Everybody in Nigeria is qualified. I agree with you. The people you have mentioned, they are qualified but you have one person, one qualified. That guy is for the 60 years old. If you go to France, they give somebody that's 40 years old. Americans, Obama, Clinton, they are young and they did very well. They don't try one person, one. Among all the ones you're talking about, Amici, Nibu, they are qualified but at least Yaya Bello is more qualified than me. They don't give me a chance because you have done a little bit well in Kogi state. He fought the caliphates in Kogi state. People like Melayah, the government, a small boy that can fight, he can do better in Nigeria. Okay, do you think Yaya Bello has the structure, the political structure and the backbone to win an election of that magnitude in Nigeria? No, look at it now. A small boy came from Kogi state. A very small village, from six children is the least person. It's the smallest among six children. He came from Kogi state. He had an election in APC with Audi. He lost, but fate happened. Yeah, you said that earlier. That's in a state. I'm talking of a national, not the state electorate. I'm coming from the states. A guy that can fight the bigger ones in Kogi state was able to rule Kogi state until they come to do the same thing. Give him a chance. Nobody has, nobody said to this man, I'm the owner of Nigeria. No. What do you think of him? It's okay. He was able to have a very good structure. He built the west from AD to APC. He was able to do a thing. Even today, they are benefitting from Lagos state and the rest. At one time, only Lagos state was under APC. But at the point, he was able to do that. He won about five states in the west. He has tried his best, but won. Medically, we don't want anybody to run to Dundon and the rest again. Yeah, you said that earlier, we've come to that. We've been on that and we've moved on from that. Yes. Now, let's look at the next candidate, Amici. No doubt, he is a strong force. Do you think the cap fits him? I've told you none of them can be able to stand here. One, Amici. Amici started his political journey as a youth. Let me give you a certain background. He used to be a speaker at the House of Assembly in the state. Then he became governor. Then minister, two-time governor, two-time minister. So, one would think he has the political portfolio to run. Now, where do you get the crowd? Where do you get the crowd? You don't have the crowd. Won. Even in reverse states, for now, it's politically... No, you cannot say that because that's like taking sides already. I can see it's obvious. No, no, no, no, no. But then, I need us to be dispassionate about it. I'm viewing all of them. Latino, Amici, Zimbabwe and the rest. Among them, I'm telling you that Iyabelo stands the test of time. I know Amici very well. I'm Amici from reverse state. He was a speaker for eight years. He was a governor. And you know the way he came to the governor. So, you know it. And I sit there in the middle of transport. What has he done? Oh, no. I do not want to take sides. And neither do I want to hold brief for anyone. But then, it's obvious what he's been able to bring together in the transportation sector, the rail system and all that. But then, come to think of it, we've got to be dispassionate. We've got to be as disinterested as possible when we're looking at issues like this. I do not have anything against you taking sides with any particular politician or candidate. What is important for us to know that especially this coming election is a critical one in the history of Nigeria and we cannot afford to be sentimental about it. So, let's look at current VP. Yes. The Vice President is a professor of law. Hang on, hang on. I am what? He's a professor of law. And he's been in the enterprise for years. And he's gone through political tutelage from, well, Senator Bola Hamedinubu. So, what we'll think is go the credentials and the verve, the energy, the intellect to rule the country. What do you make of it? DP Shibanzo is a very, very intellectual. He's brilliant in the red spot in Nigeria. It's not brilliancy that can rule Nigeria. What can rule Nigeria? Look at it now. He has been VP for the past seven years. He has not done anything meaningful in the country because of what? As a VP. Do you understand the position? Do you understand the constitutional rules of the VP? Do you remember? Yes, yes, yes. I don't want anybody to come to be president and use somehow religious... So, what should he have done? What should he have done? No. He has not been able to prove himself. How should he have proven himself? Yes. Look at it now. You see, when they make you incapacitated in the government, you cannot do anything. You resign. How was he made incapacitated? Yes. How should he have... Look at it now. Okay. Look at it now. 2019 election, he went around and given a market to maintain that honour. Can you prove this? Can you substantiate this? Yes. He did it now. He did it. How can you substantiate this? Remember, you're talking about a lawyer. Yes. What if he's watching you? Yes. It happened in Nigeria. And he was given the money to... Remember, you're talking about a lawyer. What if he's watching you? Yes. Let him watch. Let him watch. The point is that he won't be able to rule in Nigeria. Effectively. Get me now. Because, one, Tinibu would have been the best place to rule the country. Because, one, he has the crowds. He has the system, the way to rule. But for him that, for right now, politically, we want a strong person, a vibrant person, a youth, that can stand instead of time, to rule Nigeria. And I believe from all the words you are saying, I am not for Yelabelo. I'm not for him. But from what you have shown me, I believe he is a person that I think can rule the country. Thank you.
