The Nigerian 2011 General Elections and Vision 20:2020

Nigeria has a vision to be among the 20 leading economies in 2020. Consequently, strategies have been mapped out in this direction.

The need for sincere and credible political leaders as well as credible elections in achieving this dream cannot be over-stressed.

Accordingly, I was over-joyed when the Nigerian government appointed Prof. Attahiru Jega as the chairman of Nigeria's electoral umpire - the INEC.

Consequently, I am calling on citizens of Nigeria as well as friends of Nigeria across the globe to support Prof Jega and the INEC and ensure that every vote counts.

If we do not get the 2011 elections rights, believe me, it would be a grave setback for the Vision 20:2020 of Nigeria
