“Furthermore, there is adherence to fiscal and budgetary discipline. We shall change this culture from day one.
“The inequalities in our system today are huge and have created enormous distortions in human capital development, infrastructural expansion and economic growth. I want to fix our dear State by creating opportunities for all classes of people and at all times.

He accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of filing 21 lawsuits challenging his candidacy at the court.
According to Otegbeye, twenty-five lawsuits were filed against him from the ruling party, Labour Party, and All People’s Party (APP) apparently to exclude him from contesting the March 11, 2023 election.
He disclosed that the action of the petitioners was a clear indication that the ruling APC had run out of ideas; hence the desperate effort to take him out of the ballots.
