He was however optimistic that he would defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari, and that of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar come 2019.
“It is not about crime and you said, Nigeria is going to crash. What solves the problem of corruption is the 12 pillars of oath that I have just taken”.
He nailed the integrity of Buhari led administration , claiming that the APC led administration has been soaked in curruption.
“It is not about integrity. This is the medicine o…for integrity which is the oath I have taken against corruption which cures all about abominations in political office.
“While other parties operate on promises, JMPP operates on covenant with the people.”
The former Special Adviser to the President on Ethics, Mrs Sarah Jubril assured Nigerians of the credibility of their party’s candidates. She added that the oath which they were subjected to was in line with the party’s ideologies.
