By the time I complete my 8 years’ rule, Nigeria will become another Dubai – 102-year-old aspirant
High Chief Josephine Ezeanyaeche, who recently declared her ambition to become Nigeria’s next President has expressed her readiness to transform the country into becoming like Dubai in eight years.
The 102-year-old great great grandmother from Akukwa Village, Ubukwu, Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State, in an interview with reporters, said she has lived a life of service, and decided to rise up to the occasion to save Nigeria after observing that the country is going from bad to worse.
Nigeria, she said is salvageable despite its security and economic challenges, stressing that senior citizens cannot continue to fold their arms and allow the country become irredeemable.
Her decision to vie for the Presidency, she said is also because the youths are afraid to rise up to the occasion of saving the country.
“The youths of this country are afraid to take the bull by the horns and I don’t know why it is so, especially the youths from the South-East,” she said.
Commenting on if at her age, she still has the energy that the office of the President requires, she said she has God-given energy and will have team members to delegate duties to.
Expressing confidence that she would outperform President Muhammadu Buhari, if elected, she said the President has done his best, but it is not good enough, adding that she will take a different approach.
Nigeria, she asserted “will be great again under my leadership”.
Stressing that her decision to vie for the presidency is not a publicity stunt, she vowed to bring the desired change that the country truly needs.
“There is nothing I cannot do for my country. By the time I complete my eight years’ rule, Nigeria will become another Dubai,” she said.
