Asked what his fears are about 2023, he said “I have hopes not fears for 2023. People like to talk about their fears but for me, my life is about hopes. I think that by 2023 God will not forsake a nation of 200 million people.
“Our democracy has come to stay. It is not perfect. A couple of things could be done to strengthen it. But we could move on and get on with the job. I strongly believe that God in his infinite power will help Nigeria to sustain democracy and guide us as we move through 2023.
“As an optimist, I always make the point that with all the problems that Nigeria has, the sub Nigeria is still much more than the sum total of all these problems.”
