A presidential candidate in the 2019 general elections, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has said that rotation of the presidency in 2023 would be counter-productive to the polity.

Olawepo-Hashim  said rotation would not foster national unity and development.

“The country needs a good president from any region who is prepared and capable of promoting its socio-economic development. Nigeria needs a president that will unite the country, secure it and transform its economy from an under-developed economy to a modern productive economy,” the businessman added.

According to him, those who want power must construct a national platform and build a national consensus behind their programme.

He said the envisaged president “should not be based on tribe, religion or region, but on an ability to support the all-round social and economic development and provide sustainable employment for Nigeria’s massively unemployed hands.”
