The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain noted that the North has the highest number of street beggars and school dropouts, adding that holding on to political power has not helped the economy of the region.“I realized that if the North really wants to continue to eradicate the poverty that is eating up the people of the region, then we must shift our attention and our thinking to how the North can became economically viable,” he said in an interview with the Sun.
He noted that other regions that have had little or no chance to lead the country, but have more interest in economic power are getting what they want. “At the moment, we need to go back to the drawing board and look at the economic challenges before talking of retaining power.”
