“If Nigeria was to be a company, the option would have been to declare a bankruptcy or to sell the company and its entity to pay the whole debt.” He insisted that the country’s president in 2023 should not be elected on tribal or religious considerations but on capacity of individuals to rescue the country. While offering himself as one that has what it takes to lead the country, Prof. Imumolen said he is passionate about the country and has brought value even before joining politics.
“When I say I have imparted so much on education, people doubt it. I don’t think in the history of this country, there has been any man who has imparted in education as much as Prof. Chris. “You can go and research it, you go and check it. You may not know about it because I have not been making too much noise about it, I have been doing it as a result of passion and value.
“There is no state in Nigeria — in Kaduna, in Kano, in Zamfara, in Yobe that I don’t have students up to a thousand in my scholarship board.”
According to him, there is no state in Nigeria where about 5000 persons have not benefitted from his scholarship scheme, adding that it is not for politics but passion.
He further stated that education is the stimulating tool to position Nigeria to compete internationally.
Prof. Imumolen, therefore, said time has come for the country to produce leaders that will add value, treat the people with so much respect and see every citizen as humans. He said that is what he represents, urging for the support of all Nigerians to help him become the president in 2023.
The Accord Party presidential candidate said the strategy would focus on mobilising Nigerians to buy into his transformation and change agenda. According to him, he and his team will rather embark on such route and not unnecessary noise on social media.
In a related development, Professor Imumolen has revealed why he decided to join a fresh party other than the existing ones like the People’s Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress to contest for the 2023 presidential election.
Professor Imumolen said he choose the Accord Party as the platform from where he would ventilate his political aspirations to give a fresh view of what he feels governance should look like.
He said the so-called big political parties that have had the opportunity to govern the country throughout the life of the 4th Republic and have largely failed to deliver the true dividends of democracy because of an entrenched system that seems not to work.
