WATCH: I have always wanted people to enjoy good governance since I was a kid – Oby Ezekwesili
Presidential candidate Oby Ezekwesili says her quest to become the number one citizen in Nigeria goes back to her childhood days when she queried why citizens were made to suffer due to bad governance.
Ezekwesili recounted how she had always expressed desire to provide better welfare for citizens of the country.
“In those years of my pre-teen I would always say to my dad why is it that our country does not look like the countries that I do see on the television,” she says in an exclusive interview with Neusroom.
The advocate of the Bring Back Our Girls campaign also spoke on what she would do differently in addressing corruption problems in Nigeria as well as her ultimate goal of ending poverty if she is elected into office.
“It’s a recurring issue, but what we know through history, is that it can be solved and it can be tackled,” she says, on what she described as “endemic corruption” in Nigeria.
Ezekwesili will represent her party on the ballot in 2019, against President Muhammadu Buhari, Atiku Abubakar, and Donald Duke.
