“I have met with leaders, elder statesmen and women, youths, people living with disabilities and Nigerians from all walks of life.

“I have listened to their challenges. I am even now more persuaded to take Nigeria further on the path of greatness as your President in 2023.

“Of all the challenges we face as a nation, the security situation remains of great concern. This is why it is topmost on my agenda. Only through a secure environment will there be opportunities for economic prosperity and growth.

“I am better equipped to solve our security challenges because my dear state, Ekiti has the lowest crime rate statistics in the nation.

“Dear compatriots, I know the path to Nigeria’s unfinished greatness and I solicit your support to make this dream a reality,” Fayemi said.
