"As a young child growing up, I admired my Uncle who also served this great country of ours as a soldier. He impressed it upon me the deep sense of gratitude to every soldier living or dead. 

"As a leader of opposition, I am of a strong CONVICTION and HOPE that the Nigeria of my dreams and of all Nigerians will be achievable, feasible and possible for as long as we have you. 

"We can and will only have a Nigeria which works for everyone and which will work for everyone if only we have Nigeria. We will have a Nigeria to be proud of, and a Nigeria envied among comity of nations if and only we have a Nigeria.

"We will only have a Nigeria only when we have the Armed Forces.
