The presidential candidate of the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), Mr Fela Durotoye, says he will work to curb what he describes as wastage in governance if elected president in 2019.

He stated this during his appearance on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, less than four months to the election.

“We’ve got to fix the wastage that is in governance. We will collapse the wastage that is in governance alone which is within the power of the Presidency,” he said.

According to Durotoye, the nation is faced with myriads of challenges which he hopes to address if he becomes president next year.

One of which, he stated, is to fix the ‘rot’ in the nation’s judicial system and orientate the citizens on their mindset to national issues.

With next year’s polls just 103 days away, the presidential candidate believes restructuring is critical to solving some of the nation’s challenges.

He explained that restructuring entails getting governance closer to the people by using the resources extracted from states for the benefits of the masses.

Durotoye said, “We need to find a way to build these things I call special economic zones across all Local Government Areas (LGAs). Across every LGA in Nigeria, there are resources.”

“Most of those resources are not packaged, they are not processed; there is nothing happening to them.

“But to make this happen, we need to find a way to fund the infrastructure that needs to develop those places like roads, so that people who process and package products that come from those LGAs can get them to the market, especially the international market,” he added.

He also decried the level of unemployment in the country calling for an increase in the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
