Chairman of the South-East Governors Forum and Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, has promised to run a participatory government when elected president.
He said the government will develop policy frameworks that will enhance the physical and social environment and thereby tackle corruption and insecurity in the country.
Umahi stated this during his consultation meeting with Imo State APC delegates at the party Secretariat, Owerri today on Tuesday.
According to Umahi, he “will deepen the tenets of the government of the people, by the people and for the people; a government that is visionary, accountable, resourceful, and committed to the advancement of the socio-economic well-being of the people of the nation.”
He regrets that Nigeria has been facing developmental challenges culminating from leadership neglect, injustice and exclusivity in governance.
Umahi however called on Nigerians to bring on board a president with proven records of performance than those that make vain promises and lack the discipline, moral rectitude and mental resources to walk the talk.
“We shall address squarely the problems that deter the growth of our economy, especially through the creation of critical infrastructure and manpower development; including power, industrialization, road & railways development, agro and tech-based innovations, digital economy, quality and accessible education and healthcare for all strata of our people, solid mineral and agricultural development, job creation, youth and women empowerment, nation-building and national unity.
