A presidential aspirant of the African Democratic Congress, Femi Babalola, has said that the party is a credible platform capable of moving the country forward.
Babalola, a businessman and philanthropist, who has purchased the expression of interest and nomination forms of the ADC ahead of the 2019 general elections, described the party as the platform needed to bring the desired change to Nigerians.
He expressed the confidence that he would clinch the party’s presidential ticket to face President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 general elections.
“The ADC is the third force that is morally conscripted to offer Nigerians an escape route from the failed promises of the status quo and the party that connects across Nigeria today, most
movements
and people who believe that we must depart from the worn out system of mediocrity and corruption; which the APC and PDP represent,” he said.
Babalola said that a country could not be run successfully without a defined system, stressing that the government was owing Nigerian youths and the time had come to pay the debt.
“My presidency will activate more than six geopolitical zones that will bring even development to every part of the country. One of the pivotal programmes of my administration will be industrialisation of every part of Nigeria and the creation of several millionaires in every local government area in the country. Nigeria has more than enough resources to sustain these vision,” he
said.
Babalola had earlier declared his intention to contest the 2019 Nigerian Presidential election, saying governance needed creative and fresh ideas to deliver the country from its current
woes.
He noted that challenges facing the country were not rocket science, but lack of sincere political will had kept the country in its current
situation.
