The Founder of the ANAP Foundation, Atedo Peterside, has explained what whoever wins the presidential elections in 2023 elections must do.
Atedo said the incoming president would need to “do the dirty work” to get the country working.
He stated this on Friday while speaking on Channels TV’s ‘Politics Today.
According to Atedo, President Muhammadu Buhari‘s administration had refused to attend to the country’s problems and had left it to whoever came next.
He further stated that the government lacked the sincerity and courage to handle issues affecting the country.
Atedo noted that Nigeria needed a leader who would bring truth to the office of the President.
He said, “This government has kicked the can down the road. There were many obvious things they were supposed to do. They dragged their feet for a long time, and now they’re postponing many of them until the middle of next year, which is the same as saying they don’t want to fix the problem.
“So, therefore, whoever is coming in May 2023, has to begin by clearing the mess that should have been tackled last year, the year before and so on. So, therefore, I will be very worried if someone coming next year doesn’t understand that he has to do all the dirty work which this government has refused to do.”
He added, “We have a monetary and exchange rates crisis and the root of it is fiscal indiscipline. So, whoever comes in in May next year, the first thing he can do, is go to the root of the fiscal indiscipline to cut out the things we cannot afford.”
