A presidential aspirant on the platform of KOWA Party, Tope Adefemiwa, has raised the alarm over rising cases of insecurity and killings by Fulani herdsmen in the country, and the failure of the Muhmamadu Buhari administration to curtail the killings.
Adefemiwa, in a declaration speech, said the desire to rescue the country from mis-governance, informed his decision to aspire to be the president of Nigeria, stressing that the country with enormous potentials- human and natural resources- which if well taped could be among the best in the world.
Ademifewa promised to create jobs especially for the youth, revamp the educational system, and also industrialise the country, especially the rural areas if elected.
“Nigeria lies prostrate owing to many challenges most of which have dominated national discourse. Not for dearth of good policies, not for dearth of manpower, not for lack of intellectually-fertile minds, nor lack of resources but due to lack of commitment, strong will and above all, endemic corruption which has assumed a ten-a-dime prevalence and has affected every thread of our nation’s fabrics,” he said.
The presidential aspirant said the country needed a youthful leader with vigour, energy and passion, adding that having held several leadership positions in the past he was experienced enough and capable of leading Nigeria out of its current situation.
“We need to reform and re-engineer the judiciary, strengthen all corruption-fighting agencies, revitalise our ailing economy, improve our educational standard, build critical infrastructures, revamp our industries, build more refineries, create modern transport system, social security, improve power supply, construct massive road networks, reorganise our nation’s security paraphernalia and create investor-friendly atmosphere.
“If elected I would fight corruption, develop critical infrastructure, massively industrialise the country and empower women among others,” he said.
