Kola Abiola, presidential candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), has promised to restore the fortune of Nigerians, if elected president in 2023.

Mr Abiola made the promise while speaking on Monday during a novelty football match organised by PRP in Kwoi, Jaba Local Government Area of Kaduna.

The PRP presidential candidate stated that there was need for Nigerians to vote for their future, adding that “2023 election is not about sentiment.

“We will serve as bridge builders that would restore the future of our dear country,” he added.

Mr Abiola noted that PRP was poised to sustain the legacy of the party’s founding fathers, including his late father MKO Abiola, Aminu Kano, Balarabe Musa, Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe amongst others.

“These are people that have been selfless and have lived their lives for the common good of the people and it is a challenge for myself and my vice presidential candidate, Arch. Haro Zego.

“We have a reputation to protect, we are bound and enticed by the legacies of the past regimes or godfathers to account to.

“We will bring a difference, sincerity and true governance and make policies that would uplift every Nigerian,” Mr Abiola said.

The presidential candidate who canvassed for Nigerians support, said that his candidature, alongside his running mate, would serve as mentors for the next set of future politicians in the country.
