These had become the recruiting grounds of criminals, religious and political extremists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI planned to ensure that the great potential that had become the hallmark of Nigeria\u2019s development paradigm, should be actualized during our presidency. We planned to make Nigeria the continental economic powerhouse which would guarantee high quality of life to the vast majority of our citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI planned to provide peace by ending insurgency of all types occasioned by the absence of a robust and coherent plan and lack of engagements with those involved and by improving the capacity of our intelligence services, the armed forces, the police and paramilitary services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI planned to put a final stop to the incessant closure of our universities and other public institutions due to strikes. As we speak, another round of strikes is going on and nobody knows when our public universities would be opened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cIt is because of the foregoing that I found it morally compelling to introduce myself into the political space in order to provide tangible solutions to these problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI was driven by passion and commitment to the cause of salvaging our country which is on the verge of collapse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cMy exposure locally and internationally and contributions to the nation\u2019s economic and political-well being positioned me to take up the challenges facing our dear nation and \u2013 the courage to participate in this grueling exercise which most of our elites have shunned away from. Regrettably the political system has proved to be acrimonious, corrupt and self-serving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cFor the past three months I had the privilege of intensively interacting with Nigerians from all walks of life. This reinforces my resolve that Nigeria MUST BE saved, otherwise our future is doomed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI joined the contest as a democrat, with an open mind to keenly contest and accept the result of a process that is fair, credible and transparent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cWe have endeavoured to forge a consensus which would have facilitated a seamless emergence of a candidate which unfortunately could not be achieved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI wish to reiterate that I did not join party politics and to contest for the presidency because of personal gains and inordinate ambition, but in order to serve our country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cIt is therefore based on personal principles and with great humility that I have decided after wide consultations to withdraw from this contest which has been obscenely monetized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI wish to thank all my supporters, especially those from my state, well-wishers, friends, family, the extraordinary hardworking young men and women of our campaign organization, the party leadership and members for their tremendous support which enabled us to contribute within this short period towards changing the character and direction of the Nigerian political landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cFinally, as a very loyal party member and believer in the democratic process, I will continue to avail myself and my teeming supporters at all times to ensure victory of our great party.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A presidential hopeful of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mohammed Hayatu-Deen has withdrawn from the race.
