Some leaders of the South West geo-political zone have
engaged some of the presidential candidates for the February 25th election.
The presidential candidates were drilled over their plans to
rule Nigeria from May 2023.
The event organised in Ibadan by the Southwest Development
Stakeholders Forum featured two presidential candidates.
The two presidential candidates who attended the presidential parley series on Tuesday included Kola Abiola of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) and Omoyele Sowore of the African Action Congress (AAC).
The event was organised for dialogue and critique of their
intended programmes in relation to the South West region.
The PRP presidential candidate who is one of the sons of the
acclaimed winner of the June 12th 1993 presidential election, Chief Mashood
Kasimawo Olawale Abiola, in his submission explained that his administration
would practice true federalism when elected.
He added that his government will grant local government
autonomy and foster meaningful development at the grassroots.
Abiola while addressing the gathering insisted that the
cocoa industry which was the mainstay of the South West region in the past
would be revamped.
Sowore on his part identified insecurity, power shortage and
hunger as the major problems confronting the country.
He, however, promised to expand the scope of operation of
the Western Nigeria Security Network (WNSN) also known as Amotekun.
He added that this is necessary to cut down the excesses of
other security outfits in the country.
