In his declaration speech, Senator Boroffice, who is currently one of the Deputy majority leaders of the red chamber, promised to deploy his experience in science and technology to bring an end to Nigeria’s problem, especially insecurity.
Speaking further, he promised to address the issue of epileptic supply of electricity through…if elected Nigerian president come 2023.
His words: “My dear fellow Nigerians, it is with great sense of conviction and high sense of responsibility that I address you in this epochal period of our beloved Nation’s history.
“It is quite unsettling to me, to you and indeed, many Nigerians that 61years after independence, Nigeria is still grappling with the basic problems that dogged the pre-independence era despite enormous human and natural resources.”
The Senator commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his leadership over the years but noted that there are still many challenges confronting the country.
“We are swimming against the tide of corruption, greed, indiscipline, religious bigotry and ethnic intolerance. Principally, insecurity issues and economic challenges. My perspective is that rather than looking at the issues in silos, a holistic approach is the best.
“These challenges are surmountable. And the solution is here. The National Development Plan (2021 – 2025) is a well thought out plan on how to address these challenges. I have the political will to mobilize human, financial and natural resources to vigorously implement this plan.
“My agenda for the progress of Nigeria is codified in four pillars of Security, Economic Development, Education and Human Resources Development and Anti-Corruption Crusade. The 4-pillars of progressive agenda has 9-Point policy priorities as captured in the National Development Plan,” he said.
It would be recalled that the Senator defected to the ruling party from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2011 and was elected into the 9th Senate.
