“I am the only candidate that has travelled the 36 states of the federation twice. I have gone as far as Sokoto, Kebbi, Yobe, Benue States by road. If you look at my profile you will discover that none of the other aspirants have that and I have the capacity to lead this country out of the doldrums,” he said.

Responding to  question of speculation that his party may want the presidency to go to the North, Ohuabunwa said, “Time has past when you think that delegates are slaves when somebody will take a decision  for others.

“The party is free to take a decision that it will not regret. Any decision that they want to take they should consider the consequences but I tell you something that when the chips are down it is the delegates cross the 36 states of the federation that will determine who emerges the candidate. It is not the chairman in Abuja that will determine who emerges.

He urges the delegates to pray and by the leading of God they will decide who to vote for.

“It is a very significant year for us. I will say that my chances are high because I didnt come with any baggage.  I came with fresh idea. I came with vision and I came with competence going by my career and antecedents.

“All of us know that we have been a third world for 61 years, under developed, developing, yet countries that were the same status with us are all emerging nations, industrialized nations, and examples are Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, China and India. We were in the same status in the 70’s and 60’s but they have become powerful industrialized nations and we haven’t  emerged,” Ohuabunwa said.
