Useni who is an ex-Senator gave gave the advice on Friday when he hosted the Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo, at his residence in Abuja, also called Nigerians to shun moneybags.
The host said that he was at a lost as to how and when the debt would be paid before development could commence.
“I encourage you to do the right thing, get things straight. Choose the right presidential candidate. Do the right thing and avoid material monetary value.
“My plea is that, we must do the right thing. Vote wisely, vote for the right people, vote without sentiments. Our economy is shaking and there’s more to be done to salvage this Nation,” he urged.
He expressed confidence in the ability of Adebayo to rescue Nigeria, adding the SDP presidential candidate meant well for Nigerians, saying from speech, he had
convinced him but urged Adebayo to keep to his promise.
Adebayo congratulated the presidential candidate for reviving SDP.
Earlier in his speech, Adebayo said SDP had Nigeria at heart.
The presidential candidate said as as a stakeholder and a general in the military, he knows the difference between peace and ceasefire.
“Ceasefire Nigeria has gotten but is yet to get peace, this is what Nigeria will get under my watch as president.”
“We need to succeed as a nation has been given to us, but we have been running an unfair system, there is no place in this country where people don’t complain.
“We must have a government in place that will look back to correct the injustices and then put a mark not to have further injustices. If just leaders are made, all the problems Nigeria is facing would be addressed,” he stressed
He, however, called on old leaders to act as mentors to the new ones for Nigeria to be a better place.
