The architect turned hotelier craved for good governance in 2021 urging Nigerians to live up to their civic responsibility by participating in governance and holding elected leaders across board accountable.

Hear him “As a person and a Nigerian, I am hopeful that our elected leaders will lead us well in 2021. The common man is suffering greatly and I pray for good governance to reduce our woes.”

“I will like Nigerians to live up to their civic responsibility by participating in governance and also by holding elected leaders accountable.”

And continuing, Etubom Ndem said, “I feel the same attention paid on the presidency office for good governance should also be focused on our local government chairmen because politics is local and other development”.
