Chairman, DAAR Communications Plc, Raymond Dokpesi, has called on the North-Central People’s Forum to support the presidential ambition of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar in 2023.
Dokoesi who led other Nigerians supporting Atiku’s 2023 presidential aspiration on a courtesy visit, said the former vice president is the right person to lead the country out of it’s many challenges.
He said Atiku posses the right credentials both in public and private sectors to rescue Nigeria from total collapse.
The media mogul also believed that that the former vice president has the capacity to douse the rising ethnic and regional sentiment and the consequent tension the country is currently witnessing.
He said: “The challenges we are facing today as a country are complicated. The hope of the younger generation is totally dashed. Our hospitals are rather described as graveyards right now. Our schools are closed and we have over 14 million children out of school.
“Today, you hear agitations for the dismemberment of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Those agitations are coming from all sections of the country. The economy, I dare also say, is in shambles right now.
“All these put together are created by the type of leadership we have in the country. They are a result of how we have organized and managed ourselves. They were not made by God.
“So, if we want to resolve the matter, I am going to call on this Forum to, in the interest of this country and the generations yet unborn to make the necessary sacrifice and view the situation dispassionately and not based on sentiments.
“We have set out the criteria, and have identified the issues, and said that the kind of leadership we need in this country must be a courageous, fair, tested and proven leadership with cognate experience in the management of the affairs of this country and that person that has the quality to unite Nigeria at this point in time is Waziri Atiku Abubakar.
“We must put a square peg in a square hole. We must not allow some people who want to disintegrate this country to succeed.”
