In a statement signed by his media assistant, Paul Mumeh, former senate president, David Mark, on Tuesday, gave reasons why he wants to be president of Nigeria after he picked up his presidential nomination form from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secretariat in Abuja.
According to a report by PREMIUM Times, the lawmaker who represents Benue South at the Senate, and joined a list of over a dozen aspirants to declare their intention to run for president under the PDP platform, said:
“Irrespective of our political persuasions, it is incontrovertible that restructuring of the nation is an idea whose time has come.
“I believe it will further strengthen our bond of brotherhood and unity more than ever before, because everyone would have a sense of belonging and live in harmony in any part of Nigeria without any fear of molestation and intimidation.”
He said his blueprint ‘tagged 730’ will address critical areas of Nigeria’s national life, and specifically promised to tackle poverty, unemployment and neglect which he said have forced some of Nigeria’s youth to undertake the very risky route of going through the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea in their quest for greener pastures in Europe.
The 730 economic model, he explained, is a strategy that will turn the economy around within two years.
“We will concentrate on developing our infrastructure, delivering on affordable housing, roads, rails and power. We will focus on education and create a pool of highly trained citizens with excellent IT skills who will be employable as well as create jobs.”
“We will support Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) as a matter of priority by providing interest free cooperative loans to produce optimally with appropriate technology which will be the main driver of the economy with attendant huge employment opportunities.”
