A former member of the House of Representatives, Bimbo Daramola, has said Nigerians are mistaking the leadership challenges confronting the country for structural challenges, hence the call for restructuring.
Daramola, who is seeking a return to the House in 2023 on the platform of the Social Democratic Party, Ekiti North Federal (Oye/Ikole) Constituency 1, said what Nigeria needed urgently was to fix the leadership crisis rocking it, following which all things would fall in place.
The SDP candidate, who spoke in Ado Ekiti on Saturday during a chat with journalists, said he was back in the race “because of young people who believe in what I represent. I expect that this is another election that will show the way in this country. Nigerians should take a stand for the right people. It is up to us to liberate our people.”
The former lawmaker condemned vote-buying, describing vote-buyers as “exploiters,” saying, “That is why those elected leaders behave anyhow because nobody will ask them questions after the transaction.
