For many years, corruption has remained the leitmotif of leadership failure in Nigeria.
Painfully, at a time Nigeria ought to have moved on with other countries, we are still fixated on power supply, functional healthcare delivery and other essential things that ought not to be bothering us today.
We are also saddled with a gross imbalance in national appointments as if others are mere spectators in Nigeria. Added to this is a lack of future for our children.
The President can do this convincingly by immediately seeking real balance in his appointments and by taking immediate actions against those that have become notorious for killing and maiming fellow Nigerians.
Nigeria belongs to all of us, we cannot build by destroying, especially on matters that can still be solved through dialogue. Let Nigerians be encouraged to talk among themselves now. - PO

Dear @AbdulMahmud01, as Governor, I was not constitutionally empowered to arm SARS or any unit of the Nigeria Police Force or the Army. So, we never bought arms and ammunition for them because we were not legally empowered to do so.
We only supported them from time to time with operational vehicles and other logistics.

Therefore, I never armed SARS throughout my eight years as Anambra Gov. I only worked with the security agencies, which are all Federal establishments.
I was never involved in posting of security agents to Anambra State throughout my stay in office. I worked with the ones that were posted through the Commissioner of Police or heads of other agencies.

Fixing Nigeria’s infrastructure must be private-sector led. All the government must do is provide the support and what we can call a guarantee for the private sector to be able to build infrastructure. #AtikuMeetsBusinessCommunity
It took the present government 3 years to come out with the Economic Recovey and Growth Plan (ERGP) document and they are yet to meet 30% of it. Before going in, we already have a plan. #AtikuMeetsBusinessCommunity
I assure you, in turning around the economy, construction will be critical. However, it won’t be done as it is being done today where the country is being put in debt. #AtikuMeetsBusinessCommunity
