I have listened and read from our leading presidential candidates and it is easy from their pronouncements that each of them has an understanding of the problems of Nigeria. Most of them have been political allies in the past and it is not surprising that they share similar visions about the future.
Under the Constitution, the President is the Federal Government and every agency, every minister, every director-general, every commander of the army, is exercising powers on behalf of the President. But the President does not have a magic wand. Now another opportunity is coming next year for Nigerians to elect a new set of governors. Among those who are on the ballots are persons who have pending cases before anti-graft agencies including, the once roaring Economic and Financial Crimes Commission . One continues to wonder whether these anti-graft agencies have lost their powers to vet aspirants and candidates for elective offices.
There are three main challenges, which would confront the new set of leadership next year. These are unemployment, infrastructural decay and insecurity. These three challenges are interrelated and they are better tackled on regional bases. This means that states in each geo-political zone have to cooperate to tackle these problems so that Nigeria can make progress. It would not be good enough to leave the solution to the tenant of Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Today, Nigeria has not fully regained the initiatives in food production and many items are still imported. Thanks to the efforts of the President Olusegun Obasanjo regime and that of every President since then, Nigeria has tried to roll back the trend and regain the initiatives on food production.
🥺
So it's good for the masses huh?
