He said, “This is why I am today, with utmost humility, formally declaring my intention to run for the Office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, on the platform of our great party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.

If by the grace of God and the will of the people, I am given the opportunity, then I believe that first, we must complete what we have started.”

If elected, the Vice President claimed his government will drastically restructure Nigeria’s security and intelligence architecture, complete the justice system’s transformation, and focus on sufficient compensation and welfare for judicial employees in order to achieve justice for everyone and the rule of law.

Osinbajo also vowed to finish Buhari’s efforts on infrastructure development, including power, roads, trains, and internet access.

On education, the VP stated that he will ensure that all Nigerians, male and female, attend school.

“Completing the task of ensuring that all Nigerians, male and female, attend school, reforming our educational system for relevance to the challenges of this century, completing the task of universal health coverage for all and strengthening the capacity of States and Local Governments to deliver on their respective mandates”, he said.

He went on to say that his administration will fulfil its pledge of raising 100 million Nigerians out of poverty.
