My town hall meeting today in Aba with manufacturers/business owners reinforces my conviction that leadership is the only next thing our country is waiting for to reclaim its greatness. We will get Nigeria working again when our manufacturers get the support they need to thrive. pic.twitter.com/fs3SV9Ofwr
