He opined that leaders should be focused on reducing the cost of governance and alleviating the suffering of the citizens.

Below is a thread of his tweets.

One would expect the leaders and public officeholders to focus on cutting the cost of governance, alleviating the sufferings of Nigerians. This moment calls for creative ways of pulling the majority out of poverty.
