He added that he isn’t interested in the perks of office as he owns a company and employs over thousands of people. Okeowo also pointed that he wouldn’t live in The Presidential Villa, Aso Rock if and when he wins the election and becomes President of Nigeria.
However Olasubomi Okeowo mentioned amongst his top plans for Nigeria, that he plans to set up 20 to 40 million units of houses all over the country, linking states by rail. He also has in his plans a strategy that can put the youths to work actively while taking care of the old in the nation. Hence, creating room to improve the living standards of the people.
Although it will take a while to improve the system of government and standard of living of the people, it can be done by ensuring that the basics for standard living are made very accessible (security, education, power supply, transportation).
Olasubomi Okeowo however is yet to acquire the tickets to run for President. He’s made plans by speaking to the people at the top of affairs for a chance to lead the people to greater and better life. Hopefully gets one to fulfill his dreams to help the country.
