Interview Feature Why Presidential Candidates Must Pay Special Attention To South West – Adedayo
We are expecting him to use his power as president to ensure the development of our region as well as any other region. What we are saying is that the incoming president should know that though there are issues of insecurity everywhere, and economic decline in the country, our situation is specific. We want a government that will understand that what the people of the South West need would be different from what other regions need.
Yes, the South West is not where it is supposed to be because most things are not done the way they should have been done. These are the things we want to address and we cannot address them on our own. We want to negotiate with whoever is going to be president. We want that person to understand that if you help the South West, the South West people will help the government and the government will, in turn, reap in multiple fold from such assistance.
We have been hearing that Nigeria’s economy is going to collapse. But Nigeria’s economy has not collapsed because if it has collapsed, we will not be seeing what we are seeing now. Surely, it has not collapsed. You see so many women and artisans working. Most of them do not even take their money to the banks. Some of them started trading with N2,000, N3,000, N4,000, N5,000 not more than that. But with that very little amount, they still send their children to school, they still buy things because what they do is daily trading.
