Timi Frank has called on Bola Tinubu to ensure more balanced governance and equitable development across Nigeria.
In a statement Monday, Frank criticized what he described as the concentration of government activities and investments in Lagos, urging a more inclusive approach that reflects the interests of all regions.
Since taking office in May 2023, Tinubu has faced allegations of uneven appointments and distribution of development projects, claims the presidency has repeatedly denied.
Frank said Nigeria needs leadership that promotes fairness and guarantees equal access to opportunities and infrastructure.
“We don’t need a president who is one-sided, but one who ensures equitable distribution of opportunities, infrastructure and governance,” he said.
He also called for a broader spread of federal appointments and development initiatives to strengthen national unity.
“There is a need for broader national spread in federal appointments and development initiatives to strengthen unity through inclusive governance,” he added.
Frank urged the federal government to prioritize key sectors such as agriculture, industrialization, and oil and gas development across all regions, saying balanced economic growth is critical for stability.
He also emphasized transparency and accountability in foreign loans and international agreements, noting that Nigerians should see tangible benefits from such deals.
Frank added that major infrastructure projects, including the Coastal Highway, should align with long-term national development plans.
He called on citizens to remain engaged in governance by monitoring policies and holding leaders accountable, and urged institutions to safeguard national interests, equity and sovereignty.
