Fatshimetrie highlights an interview Olorunfemi gave to the News Agency of Nigeria, in which he outlined his political platform. A candidate of the Libertarian Party (LP) for the Lagos elections, Olorunfemi says one of his top priorities is the fight against corruption and waste of public funds. According to him, corruption and bribery deprive the people of the fruits of democracy, thus creating poverty and citizen indignation towards politicians.
For Olorunfemi, it is imperative to address this situation in order to implement a plan for comprehensive transformation and happiness for the people of the state. He insists that corruption has amplified inequalities and economic disparities in the society, creating a gap between the rich and the poor. Thus, he firmly commits to establishing a policy of zero tolerance towards corruption, by putting in place accountability and transparency mechanisms in public procurement processes.
The LP candidate promises to scrupulously follow the necessary procedures to fight corruption in public administration if elected. He also counts on the effective use of technologies to detect and prevent acts of corruption in public institutions. Olorunfemi cites the example of Governor Alex Otti of Abia, the only LP governor in the country, who has distinguished himself by his uncompromising policy towards corruption.
In conclusion, Olorunfemi affirms that state resources must be devoted to the well-being of the population and not to the personal enrichment of politicians. He calls for a genuine reform of public governance to restore citizens’ trust in institutions and ensure a prosperous and equitable future for all.
