Good People, I understand the optimistic exuberance for Nigeria to raise a new generation of leaders who can fix our national paralyses and take our nation to the mountaintop where our citizens will experience opportunities, shared prosperity and abundance for all. While I have engaged here on that call to mission, it is important that I make it clear that I am not running for any political post, yet. Also, if anyone invites you to contribute money or whatever, be assured that I have not approved it.
We need to be real – running and winning elections in Nigeria must not be trivialized. The nation of LinkedIn and Facebook is not the Nigerian nation. As I wrote recently in the Harvard Business Review, we need to examine our One Oasis and see where the Double Plays will come. Possibly, social media is our gameplan’s One Oasis and we need to then capture political value (votes) in communities and wards. That must be developed for us to have any chance.
Keep your money and any fundraising so that we do not bring fudge factors into this. Let us continue the conversations. Nigeria is at a state where the citizens will want the best to win because many are at ground zero. That opens an opportunity.

But as we look at many playbooks, note this – I will be the best president in the history of Nigeria. Any expense above N5 million will be posted online for all to see. And I will reform EFCC to focus on prevention of corruption instead of just prosecution. I will bring velocity to our land assets and begin a new age of deepening property rights across communities. By the time we are done, GDP will be doubled and rural Nigeria will rise. It is just a 5-point pillar and a new dynamic, vibrant and hopeful nation will emerge.
But it would be easier if both APC and PDP endorse me. How about that?
