…asks the economist to help reform Nigeria
…as another Otoge group move to change narrative in 2023
A group under the aegis of Mass Interest Project, MIP has beckoned on the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele to join the presidential race to help reform Nigeria.
Emefiele an economist of note with traceable track record of achievements was considered a beacon of hope as Nigeria is currently undergoing an economic surgery.
An economist in the mould of Emefiele fits the bill to help conduct a successful economic surgery for Nigeria from 2023.
According to MIP, who leads the ‘Charge 2023? to help combat the barrage of economic threats laced around, political captivity, poverty, unemployment, insecurity confronting Nigeria from various ends.
To this end, MIP in its trending campaign online has outlined a three-prong agenda to help catapult Nigeria from the distress of economic quagmire facing the country.
On the Trump card is improved standard of living, higher GDP/GNI and world standard healthcare designed for all Nigerians with an economist as the pilot of the Nigerian project.
MIP has put out a well planned network to galvanise Nigerians towards ensuring Emefiele accepts to run in 2023.
In the campaign captured all these maladies bedeviling Nigeria and how it must stop as a tested hand in the person of Godwin Emefiele must run for president to put an end to the ugly trends in our country.
This is just as another Otoge movement group birthed to change the narrative in 2023
In their fresh campaign trending online the group stated that:
“The political permutations ahead 2023 is already displaying the usual signals of recycled politicians that have been in the corridor of power for over two decades and those that have chosen permanent residency in Government circle.
The group birthed to checkmate these permanent residents in Government House doling out dislocated economic policies that will further sink Nigeria into total oblivion.
Stating in the viral campaign online that ” as expected, there is already tension across the country. From East to West, North to South, Nigerians are beginning to feel the heat as the political gladiators go on the hustings, perfecting their art to play the game the only they know how to play it: with ruthless efficiency.
“These are men and some women who are well-versed in political deception, intimidation, blackmail and are also experts in the arts of violence, which they readily deploy to exact vengeance or force compliance to their will and desire.
“They are also adept at making promises they cannot keep or are not capable of supporting. They have been there from the beginning: from the First Republic, the Second Republic, the Third Republic, the Fourth Republic and continued to rule the roost even up to the present political dispensation.
“Yet these careerist politicians, or political leaders as they prefer to be addressed, have continuously refused to let go, strutting their turf with magisterial arrogance, even while the country bleeds or totters precariously at the edge of a precipice. The reason for this is not far to seek: They have made it a lifetime career of appearing at every election season and contesting for every available post.
“For them, they have been ordained to rule, and rule they must.But the question is: after all these years, what has the country got to show for our much-vaunted democratic experiments? Is it a nation that is fractured almost beyond repair?
“An economy that has been ailing over the years and presently appears headed to the emergency ward? Is it the prevailing insecurity in the land and the fear of uncertainty that now rules the hearts of most Nigerians?
“But since 2023 holds bright prospects to get at the spoils of political office, there is always an army of aspirants willing and ready to join the fray. Incidentally, there are, as usual, many territories to invade, conquer, and take. From the local government, the state assembly, governorship, National Assembly, and the presidency, the stakes, though high, must be coveted and taken by force or surreptitious means. Understandably, the presidency holds the highest stake and is being keenly coveted and contested.
“This is why with months before the 2023 presidential election, the nation is already abuzz with the deafening noise of those on the campaign trail, with their different campaign trains traversing many of the cities in the land.
“As expected, the usual suspects have made or made their intentions known. That is why you hear rotation and zoning being commonly chorused at almost every political gathering.
“For now, the battleground is at the intra-party level, where vicious scheming and manipulations are clearly evident as primaries and conventions are being planned and organised to select candidates for various elections.
“As this selection, rather than election, the drama unfolds, there is already a lot of huffing and puffing, sabre-rattling in the leading political parties as different factions up the ante to undo or upstage others for electoral advantage.
“Indeed, the two leading political parties, the All Progressives Congress(APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), are presently wracked by crises due to sharp disagreements among their respective members on the choice of candidates to fly their flags during the governorship, National Assembly and presidential elections next year.
“The wranglings are particularly more intense with regards to the presidential aspirants, some of whom are already strutting the campaign trail and flooding major cities, especially Lagos and Abuja, with their campaign posters.
“But remarkably, the roll call of those who have made their intention known in this regard is dominated by the familiar careerist politicians who have been part and parcel of the leadership crises afflicting the nation over the years.
“The same set of people who have been a parasite on the country, contributing little or nothing to its development or progress.
“But the good news is that Nigerians are not sleeping. There are already strong indications that they are ready to take the destiny of the nation into their hands with regards to who gets elected, especially as their president.
“In fact, a civil society organisation that identifies itself as “Enough is Enough Nigeria” recently launched a 13-month campaign ahead of the 2023 general elections anchored on the theme: #MakeNaijaWork Campaign.’ It is expected to serve as a “clarion call to Nigerians to seize the golden opportunity to decide and elect credible leaders by registering to vote and selecting candidates based on defined criteria – courage, compassion, competence, capacity, and character.”
“But more importantly, there is already in the offing another O to ge movement, a revolutionary wind blowing across the country which specifically questions the leadership credentials of careerist politicians presently aspiring to be elected president in 2023.
“The argument is that since careerist politicians have consistently failed over the years to provide the kind of leadership Nigeria needs, it was high time to look at those men and women who have been tested and proven as great achievers in their various non-political endeavours. Here we are talking about outstanding entrepreneurs and experienced business leaders such as Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Alhaji, Isiaku Rabiu, Tony Elumelu, Atedo Peterside, Mike Adenuga, Femi Otedola, Chief Innocent Chukwuma, Dr. Obiora Okonkwo, Allen Onyema, among several others.
“These are founders and captains of industries who have shown requisite leadership abilities in running organisations successfully, providing jobs for millions of Nigerians, and helping to keep the Nigerian economy afloat and running. The belief is that if any of these men are entrusted with the appointment of leading Nigeria in 2023, the country will undoubtedly be better for it.
