Former member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Karimi Sunday, has explained why the North should still produce the occupant of Aso Villa when President Muhammadu Buhari leaves office in 2023. Sunday spoke against the backdrop of the call by the 17 southern governors that President Buhari’s successor must come from the southern part of the country, in line with the principle of equity and fairness. The former VP expressed worries that government could not account of what international agencies were donating to alleviate the suffering of Nigerians. According to him, the private sector remains the only viable channel to lift the youth out of poverty, if AfDB abolishes the policy of allocating huge funds to government that cannot give account of them. Adesina urged African countries to stop borrowing for consumption, but for development of infrastructure, create a friendly environment for the private sector.
