Ahead of the 2023 Presidential election, a renowned entrepreneur and youth development advocate, Mrs Khadijah Okunnu-Lamidi, has thrown her hat in the ring for the Presidential seat.

Okunnu-Lamidi becomes the first female to declare her interest in running for the office of President with a promise to restore hope for a better Nigeria.

At a media briefing in Lagos to officially unveil her plans for the presidency come 2023, Okunnu-Lamidi explained that she intended to come on to the political platform to change the narrative by ensuring holistic exploration of potentials embedded in the teeming youths. Also, to leverage the bourgeoning population to create more job opportunities across all the sectors.

She further stressed that her motivation in vying for the posting stems from her desire to make Nigeria work for its diverse populace while noting that 2023 is a defining moment. She intends to play a lead role in writing a new history.

“I do not come to this lightly or out of vanity or frivolity. I come to this with humility and responsibility and with the burden of a generation to whom the future of Nigeria belongs.

“Nigerians of our generation believe in the promise of an equitable and just political union which consolidates the diverse strengths of our people and which harnesses the vast untapped resources of our great nation for the common good. Nigerians of our gender believe that we are heirs to the same promise and that our contribution to Nigeria’s character, stability, peace, and progress deserves recognition and reward.

“The challenge of the presidency is to make Nigeria work for all of its diverse peoples. It is the most powerful office in the land, but it is a place of service, and responsibility and duty and not a place of arrogance or show. Nigeria is not working for us,” she said
