PRP Coming With Clean Slate – Kola Abiola
The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party, Kola Abiola, on Sunday, promised Nigerians that he would not bring the baggage of past administrations and recycled politicians into governance when elected.
Abiola, the heir of the late icon of Democracy and acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 election, MKO Abiola, gave the assurance when he appeared for Arise TV presidential debate at Transcorp Hilton in Abuja.
While describing himself as a breath of fresh air with no record of holding public offices in Nigeria, Abiola stated that he is the best man for the job.
He said, “We are coming to the federal level with a clean slate because we are not carrying the baggage of any administration or any party. We want to use that to turn Nigeria around and fight for the people.
“I’ve never run for governor, state chairman or local government council. The point I am trying to make is that the leadership has tried over the years so many recycled and different people every time. The leaders stay in one party or they jump parties.
“But for the first time, we have a candidate here in the PRP that hasn’t been there or any party at all. Let us try a fresh hand to solve Nigeria’s problem. Now security is an issue.
“We represent what it means to be fresh, especially what it takes to ensure that the ones coming behind us have an opportunity to decide their own destinies in a united Nigeria.”
