Ahead of May 29 handover, a Yoruba socio-cultural group, under the auspices of Majeobaje Movement, has highlighted some possible steps the incoming president, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari should take for the betterment of the country.
MM group, through its convener, Chief Akintayo Akin-Deko, released a 14-point charter in Ibadan to help Gen. Buhari and his cabinet succeed.
The charter highlights eradication of corruption, restoration of security, practice of true federalism, rule of law, reforming the constitution and revamping infrastructural facilities.
Others are poverty alleviation, reinvigorating industries, universal health care, functional education, sustainable agriculture, electricity supply, affordable housing and youth empowerment.
Akin-Deko said: “For us at the Majeobaje Movement, good governance at the federal level remains a precondition for achieving better life in the South West. It is for this reason that we forwarded this open-ended Good Governance Charter to the President-Elect and his vice. It is our hope that they will adopt it as a cornerstone for a social pact through which positive change can be systematically ushered into, and thereafter sustained in Nigeria.
“There has never been a contractual agreement between voters and political office holders. We are concerned. We believe Nigerians, especially Yoruba, deserve more than we are getting as a people. We need to set an agenda for any government in South West.”
