But some things made me change my mind and to realize there’s no other place to make the real change we want happen.
Second, I know from experience, having been a top technocrat, that technocrats can’t make any country achieve progress. Countries make progress only when they have competent political leaders and strong, effective institutions. So having brilliant technocrats is not the answer. Nigeria has tonnes of brilliant economists but our economy is heading to Venezuela and Zimbabwe .
In other words, the failures and shortcomings of the elected political leadership constrained what could have been achieved. This realisation also made me enter politics and seek the presidency in 2019 and, again and ongoing, in 2023. No retreat. No surrender. We press forward. Fourth, I am in politics because ideas matter. Ideas rule the world. We need to educate our citizens, whose minds have been twisted by our corrupt, wicked politicians and the poverty they inflict on citizens so they can buy their votes; that every society that makes progress is one led by political leaders, who have and are comfortable with ideas and intellect.
I am a thinker and a doer combined. If you can’t think about it you can’t do it. If you can’t conceptualise it, you can’t execute it. There is no “practical” that can work without a sound theory or concept. Nigeria simply can’t be transformed without a leader with a powerful worldview anchored on sound intellect and strong political will to drive the vision. I am Lee Kwan Yew from Nnewi.
