Politics
By Ejenike Chukwuma
THE Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Falcon Corporation Limited, Prof. Joseph Ezigbo, has advised Nigerians to check the antecedents of all the contestants in the forthcoming elections before casting their votes.
Speaking to Realnews in an exclusive interview in Lagos on the “forthcoming presidential and general elections as well as the nation’s economy, Prof. Ezigbo said that Nigerians should choose somebody they know has the political will, who has shown what he has done in the past and has the economic strength.
Posing several questions on the contestants, Prof Ezigbo said: “Do we know the history of the contestants? Do we know the antecedents of the contestants? If we do, do you think Nigerians have the capacity to look at their history and say “this might be the best man for us, irrespective of religion, irrespective of tribe, and also the mental and visible sagacity in which to lead us?”
On who should be the next president amongst all the contestants, Prof. Ezigbo said: “If we choose rightly, there’s a chance we’ll be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
“Of all the governors who has ever ruled in this country, how many of them is today not receiving pension from the mega amount of money being given to the states? How many of them did not borrow money for the 8 years they were in office? How many of them came in when the educational strength was at zero and left with their state topping all the others? Do I need to tell you a name? I won’t,” he said.
