Oby Ezekwesili
Presidential
candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, ACPN, Dr.
Oby Ezekwesili, has cautioned Nigerians on voting for
candidates that have failed Nigeria in the past or lacked innovation
and
creativity
to move the country forward.
She
lamented the desperation of some presidential candidates to be in
power, saying, “Some of them have been showcasing empty manifestos
and policy documents that are not in terms and in reality with
modern day Nigeria.”
Ezekwesili
added, “We need a creative leader with innovative ideas to
move Nigeria forward. We are tired of manifestos that cannot take us
anywhere. 2019 election should be about who will add value to
Nigeria and
bring development. We cannot trust those that have failed us in the
past.”
According
to her, these politicians are already sponsoring and attending
book publications that will help shore up their battered reputation
and deceive Nigerians into voting them into power.
In
a press statement from her campaign office, HOPE 2019, on Thursday,
the ACPN presidential candidate advised Nigerians not to be deceived
by “empty
promises" ahead of the 2019 presidential elections.
The
statement read, “Your concern should rather be on how to elect a
mpresident who thinks globally and acts locally. Nigerians need a
president who understands how to create millions of job
opportunities via Blockchain technology and the Internet of
Things (IoT).
“You
need a president who understands the importance of cloud technology
and Big Data in Nigeria’s business environment. The plan should be
detailed towards electing a president who will maximise the power of
Artificial Intelligence while ensuring that our youths do not lose
their jobs to the AI technology.
“Do
not elect a president who is scared to attend a presidential debate
where he would discuss his plans for the country with Nigerians, but
would rather send a ministerial representative. Do note vote in a
leader whose
usage of the social media is very primitive.
“Nigeria
needs a president who understands financial technology and
micro-economics. The country needs a leader who understands youth
empowerment and entrepreneurship. Do not allow anyone to deceive you into
voting for him on the promise that he would be in power for only
four years, whereas plans to do eight years. Hire right!”
It
added, "We are also confident that no gang up can defeat the
social forces arrayed against the decadent leadership that has
impoverished our people and extinguished hope in the country.
"Our
presidential candidate, Obiageli Ezekwesili, is committed to
lifting 80 million Nigerians out of abject poverty and undoing the
economic downturn imposed on the nation."
