“Our dear country needs the right leadership to transform the economy to
reach its full potential. It brings pain
when we listen to solutions to Nigeria problems. These solutions had
already been proffered in the past,
but had been neglected by people in
power.
“The key to a new, better and
prosperous Nigeria is leadership.
We have not become a great nation
because of a lack of good leadership.
Nigeria was most unfortunate to
have a leader who had no vision for
the country for eight years. The eight
years of the last administration took
us back for three decades.
“For Nigeria to move forward, we need truly patriotic Nigerian, nationalist Nigeria that will embrace the nation from every part, someone who is courageous that will be able to stand up to touch every major sectors and do the needful to implement policies that will turn around the economy.

poverty, with smiling and suffering citizens, which she said needs liberation.
Reverend Akinyemi used Queen Esther in the Bible as an example who stand for her nation.
According to her, Nigerians must
gather to decide the way forward,
stressing, “the ART is that gather-
ing.” She opined that spirituality is
of essence, hence every activism, advocacy and education in this regard
must be spiritual.
