Popular human rights lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN) has made a shocking revelation.
He said: “None of those contesting to be the president of Nigeria in 2023 can solve the nation’s many problems.”
“Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, Peter Obi of the Labour Party, and all other presidential candidates will only try, but they would not be able to save Nigeria from the enormous challenges facing it.”
“The presidential candidates cannot solve the problem of insecurity, poor economy, poverty, hunger and hopelessness that has enveloped the country.”
“Only restructuring and change of the system of government can save Nigeria from doom.”
“Virtually everything is wrong with our country: insecurity, collapsed infrastructure, failure of the public school system, an economy in shambles. The list is endless.”
“We should embrace our discarded Prime Minister system of government or dismantling and recoupling several of the institutions that help or hinder us.”
“I am calling for a serious re-examination of the 36 state structure as federating units vis-à-vis their fiscal/economic viability or their consolidation into six or more regions with economies of scale and higher investment rates.”
“I also advocate for multiple vice-presidency, representing respective regions other than the region of the president, each of who would have supervising powers over some ministries to ensure equitable representation in the federal cabinet.”
“The nation has derailed from the vision of its founding fathers, if those in power do not want a change, the nation is likely to crumble.”
