“Three things Buhari will do include creation of jobs for the youths, this is why we are doing all we are doing. The Lagos -Ibadan railway is coming to Ekiti and it will bring a lot of jobs. You have also heard of the Ado-Ekiti dual carriage way which we are doing, that will also create jobs.

“The creation of job creation for university graduates was why we established N-Power, this individuals are empowered with computers that are activated with educational materials. Now we are increasing N-Power to 1.5m so as they are completing NYSC they have something to do.

“We all heard they sold NEPA to different companies in 2015 and some can’t buy meters reasons they are sending estimated billing and can’t provide transformers but Buhari is willing to allow people distribute the power. When this is done there will be light for Nigerians and this is what we will do in NEXT LEVEL.

“All artisans will start getting money under the scheme of People MoneyBank to create jobs for Nigerians. This People Money Bank is a new scheme for people willing to create jobs and it will be felt in Ekiti.”
