Rivers State-born, businessman and All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential aspirant, Tein Jack-Rich, has claimed that his motivation to govern Nigeria in 2023 is to emancipate the country from its current economic doldrums, noting that what the country needs next year is a risk-taker.
Speaking in this interview with reporters in Abuja, Jack-Rich pointed out that the country needs a navigator, someone with the cutting edge knowhow, a developing agent who understands the simple mechanics and the microeconomic dialectics to deal with the core issues of the country and establish footprints that can grow the economy so that anyone can come on board.

His words; ‘I don’t want to talk about why we are where we are. All I want to talk about is that 2023, we have a challenge that you need the right knowhow to deliver the best and I think that overtime, our forebears have tried in working so hard to deliver their promises. But the most important thing is that there have been several challenges and all that.
‘In 2023 is key for us to reset this economy. And to do that, you need someone with the right knowhow, with a cutting edge, an intellectual prowess, someone who has been a risk-taker; someone who is a development agent, somebody who understands the microeconomic dialectics that needs to be established and to enable us to have an economy to deliver what this country really needs.
‘We need a knowhow-based leadership, a leadership that can take risk in what it believes in. We need a leadership that will enable our currency have the right value because the fiscal policy enablers have strengthened the core engines that drive profitable economic growth, using the private sector as the key engine.’
Amongst other issues, Jack-Rich said if elected president in 2023, he will banish the nagging issues of youth unemployment, poverty, and social unrest, among others.
