Ahead of the 2023 elections , the Accord Party (AP) presidential candidate, Christopher Imumolen has explained why he refused to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) nor the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).<\/p>\n
Imumolen who described the current political system as that which has failed the people in more than two decades of its return to democracy, said he needed to make a clean break from the prominent political parties<\/p>\n
The youthful presidential hopeful disclosed that he chose AP in order to ventilate his political aspirations to give a fresh view of what he feels governance should look like.<\/p>\n
In a TV interview, he said the APC and the PDP have had the opportunity to govern the country since 1999 but failed to deliver the dividends of democracy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI decided not to join any of these so-called big political parties because I wanted a fresh perspective on governance\u201d, Imumolen said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI told myself that if I wanted to be the agent of change that I desired to be, I needed to dissociate from the system that hasn\u2019t really worked despite a host of erudite fellows.\u201d<\/p>\n
He described Nigeria as a company having the same challenge of management despite several attempts by different personnel to make a difference.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just like an organization which keeps having the same problem again and again for say, 30 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you notice that the solution proffered by those who are supposed to know is not working, the best thing to do will be to look outside.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo bring someone who has not been tainted by the malaise that does not make things work in that organisation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am that someone who is untainted by the system, with no affiliations or any vested interests.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will look at the country\u2019s problems from a fresh prism as I am better placed to solve them\u201d, Imumolen assured.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
