“We have not gotten the best that democracy had promised and that is why the people are anxious to ensure that this time around, they vote strictly on the basis of trust. If you then now ask why should they trust me, fine. It is a very legitimate question. I have also told people that anyone who comes to them and promise that he is going to put Air conditioners on their highways, he is going to convert the state to a corner of heaven and things like that. Just ask them why should you trust them. Let them tell the story. But whatever they tell you, you  should find time to find out who they were
not who they are in terms of where they were born or their religion, but who they are in terms of what they have done before. What are their records in public service?
Have they ever worried about the welfare of society? Have they ever been concerned about the pains of the people? Have they ever spared a thought about those people who have no food to eat? Have they ever been engaged in policy contestations with regards to options of development? So, if they have not, why should you believe them? In my own case, I will simply ask them to look at my pedigree. All I have done for a living is working for the people. So, nobody is going to lecture me that the people matter because I know it. I have fought on their side, we have defended them and we have argued their cases. We have risked our lives so that Nigeria may be free, we have fought against poverty and we have argued that it is not an act of God"....Adams Oshiomhole
