He has warned Nigerians that if you sell your vote for N10,000 the hardship you will face for the next four years will be more than that N10,000. That is why he has made it such that this time around, the votes of the common man will count.”
He also urged the people not to be intimidated by thugs but to be vigilant and report any suspicious person or activity to the appropriate authorities.
