I will build equal opportunities in society if elected president – Fela Durotoye
By The presidential candidate of Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), Fela Durotoye, has said he would strive to build equal opportunities where every Nigerian would have equal stake if elected the president of the country in next year’s presidential election.
Durotoye, who is a renowned management expert, stated this Sunday while flagging off his presidential campaign at Ajegunle, Lagos, in which he launched a social impact project which seeks to empower 500 children from less-privileged families, provide medical care and also feed the residents of the community.
Durotoye said that his administration would focus on creating wealth and empowering the less-privileged to reduce the alarming poverty rate among Nigerians, as soon as he assumes office.
The presidential candidate bemoaned the terrible state of infrastructure across the country and blamed successive leaders for the nation’s woes, promising to champion a new orientation among Nigerians that would change their mind-set.
He promised that his administration would give women 50percent of appointments, stressing that women were strategic to the nation’s development.
“We want to make an impact and we want to build a new Nigeria; I believe in a new Nigeria where everyone would have an equal stake; an equalitarian society and I did not just start today, I have been building people and contributing to the lives of Nigerians.
“Years back in Victoria Island we had a project, I was teaching young people and impacting on their lives. The reason why we came to support the people of Ajegunle is because this is a popular city which has produced stars for the country.
“This project would not stop here it would go round the country and touch the lives of Nigerians, then people who say we don’t have structure would see that we are on ground,” Durotoye said.
