WHY I WANT TO BE BUHARI’S RUNNING MATE —TINUBU

FORMER Lagos State governor and a national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu has confirmed his interest in the vice presidential ticket of the party.
In a missive reacting to an alleged smear campaign against him on the matter, he said governance had little to do with religion, region or rumour but more with vision and competence.
His reaction to reports objecting to his interest in the search for General Muhammadu Buhari’s running mate was packaged by his media team “Tinubu Media Office” (TMO).
The main objection to his involvement in the race, according to the said reports, was founded on his same religion with Buhari, his alleged involvement in drug-trafficking and alleged tainted academic achievements.

In life, some have it rosy while others have it rough. For good governments around the world, they strive hard to ensure most of their citizens get the best. They also try to make the gap between the rich and the poor very thin.But in Nigeria, it is the other way round. While the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer. The standard of living of the avarage Nigerian citizen is far below the expected range.Top government officials and their cronies are milking the nation very dry and the government is virtually not doing anything to bring them to book.

An average citizen is left to do menial or imaginable JOBS to survive in the midst of plenty.

My Declaration For President By Michael Omozokpia Oserieme Ovienmhada

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Today, this hour is a great moment not only in my life but as time surely will tell, history shall record that history was made this day in this small hall when an unknown man, an un-moneyed man, a man without a godfather from the hilly hamlet of Ozenyen in Ohordua, Esan North East, Edo State declared his intention to run for the highest office in the land. My name is Michael Omozokpia Oserieme Ovienmhada and I am running for President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the platform of the Unity Party of Nigeria.

In the book Antigone by Sophocles, the Greek author writes: No other touchstone can test the heart of man, the temper of his mind and spirit until he be tried in the practice of authority and rule. For my part, I have always held the view, and hold it still, that a King whose lips are sealed by fear and unwilling to seek advice is damned. And no less damned is he who puts a friend above his country; I have no good word for him. As God above is my witness who sees all, when I see any danger threatening my people, whatever it may be, I shall declare it. No man who is his country’s enemy shall call himself my friend. Of this I am sure. Our country is our life; only when she rides safely have we any friends at all.
