Seyi Makinde, the governor of Oyo State and presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), has stated that although Nigeria has abundant resources, its leadership lacks ideas for improving the nation’s development.
Makinde made the remarks on Wednesday in Abuja during the Makinde/Daura presidential ticket’s manifesto, the Reset Nigeria Agenda, which was unveiled by the Makinde/Daura Presidential Campaign Organization.
He disagreed with the narrative that portrayed Nigeria as impoverished, claiming that although the country has abundant natural and human resources, its leaders lack creativity.
According to him, the nation’s issue is not a lack of resources but rather a lack of courage, vision, and ideas to transform those resources into prosperity for the populace.
He said;
“Nigerians are proud of long speeches, but today we want to have a conversation. These things, we didn’t just bring them up on our own; they are things that we went round, had town hall meetings across all the geo-political zones of Nigeria.
“And the outcome of that consultation is the Reset Agenda.
“States will generate, distribute their own electricity.
““I felt that no matter what it will take, we must not disappoint Nigerians.
“This 2027 election will not be determined by how many billions you have. This election will be determined by the people of Nigeria,” he declared.
Nigeria is richly endowed with natural resources, but that wealth alone cannot guarantee progress. Our leaders must do more to serve the country and turn its vast potential into better opportunities for all Nigerians. With responsible, visionary leadership, Nigeria can overcome its challenges and achieve the future its people deserve.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
