An Aspirant who is contesting for the House of Representatives in Remo Federal Constituency , Engr. Sosanwo Adeola has described the growth of Nigeria economy as 'stunded', saying it is not worth celebrating.

He said this while giving his opinion that God has blessed Nigeria with so much potentials for growth but it is still acting like a toddler.

Democracy Day is a public holiday in Nigeria celebrated annually on May 29.

“How can we celebrate stunted growth? When you have all the potentials to develop far beyond where we are today, we know where the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) countries were several years ago and we know where they are now and they didn’t even have what we have in Nigeria.
“Yes we can mark the Democracy day but definitely not celebrating it.
“There is a difference between ‘marking’ and ‘celebrating’, the English dictionary is very clear, you ‘celebrate’ when you are happy and rejoicing but you ‘mark’ something on the calendar and that is all we should be doing.”
According to him, everything boils down to the economy and when any country develops its economy, it will develop politically and every other thing will develop including job creation and security.
“All these things are tied together and are inseparable. When you get the economy right, every other thing can be added. Here you a nation that is so blessed and you find people who cannot have a meal a day; not three square meals but just one! You claim to be a giant yet your people cannot feed, your people cannot go to school, your people are not safe!
“A lot of people are misunderstanding this rebasing of the economy, Nigeria has been the largest economy in past years; it is not a new development just that it is now they did the rebasing.
“The population is great alongside other factors. But this has not trickled down to the grassroots and this prompted me to established a Non Governmental and Non Political Organization(SAS FOUNDATION) in all the zones in Remo Federal Constituency so as to give back to the society. The country economy is trickle down and those in the helm of affairs have been silent . What we are is just the largest economy on paper and this amounts to nothing,” he insisted.

He urge the people of Remo Federal Constituency to vote for him as a member of the House of Representatives cum 2019.

May God bless Nigeria.
