Former gubernatorial candidate in Imo State and president of the Ugwumba Leadership Centre, Uche Nwosu, has expressed optimism that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not be a regional president.
According to Nwosu, with the programmes and projects Tinubu has highlighted, Nigeria will be a better place adding that every region will feel the impact of his administration.
Nwosu stated this during an interview with journalists yesterday.
Nwosu said for Tinubu to outline his plans in the oil sector, power and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) regarding foreign exchange, there is great hope.
The former lawmaker urged Nigerians to forget about age as administration is all about the capability of the leader which he said Tinubu has.
He said, “Tinubu has a good vision for the country. I have gone through some of the outline of his programmes and I can actually say that the president has a good vision for the country and Nigerians. At least on the issue of Power, CBN and currency, I think there is hope.
He will not be a regional president. The entire Nigeria will feel his impact.
“You can only commend somebody who has the courage to quickly bring up the issue of fuel subsidy and remove it.
“I don’t think his age will stop him from achieving whatever he wants to achieve. Although some of the countries we know now that their presidents are over 90, they are doing well, it’s about us giving him encouragement and letting him do well,” Nwosu said.
Speaking on the issue of 60 days to set up a cabinet, Nwosu said it is not too long but that such a time will help the president to choose capable technocrats to work with him.
“I don’t think it’s late. We know in this part of the world, how we behave sometimes. I believe that if it comes before 60 days, it is better for us. But if it doesn’t come before the 60 days, he is the president, some of the agencies have permanent secretaries and they are almost like ministers in their ministries. So, they should take charge till Tinubu makes his appointment.
