âHe is a businessman who is chairman of major business boards.

âThis experience complements my incomparable competence and capacity when it comes to socio-economic and governance issues.
âLike me, Alhaji Galadima has shown a long-standing commitment to the fight to rescue our nation by standing with people of integrity.
âHe refused to join questionable alliances and coalitions led and bankrolled by ruling parties in this election and in that of 2015, where he ultimately emerged as the fourth most popular candidate across the nation.
âTogether, by the grace of God, we will work closely, selflessly and as a team to fight for every Nigerian person, family, community, ward or state, and rescue our country from the clutches of an irresponsible political class.
âTogether we will lift 80+ million Nigerians out of poverty and unlock prosperity for every citizen,â she said.
