An exclusive interview with Abayomi Rotimi Mighty
- Nigeria has been wounded by corruption, tribalism, and mistrust. As President, how will you heal not just the economy, but the soul of the nation?
Abayomi Rotimi Mighty: To heal Nigeria’s soul, I will first restore truth to our politics, dignity to our governance, and humanity to our institutions. Healing requires national storytelling—where every Nigerian, from the creeks of Bayelsa to the hills of Jos, feels seen and heard. I will convene a National Truth & Unity Dialogue to address the historical wounds we’ve buried under silence. But beyond dialogue, I will govern with radical fairness—ensuring that equity, not ethnicity, determines opportunity. The soul of Nigeria is crying out not just for jobs or roads, but for justice. We will answer that cry.
- What personal sacrifices are you willing to make to serve Nigeria faithfully—and how do you intend to resist the corrupting influence of absolute power?
Abayomi Rotimi Mighty: Power must never intoxicate. I am willing to sacrifice personal comfort, privacy, and even political popularity to serve truthfully. My administration will operate under the Transparency Doctrine: public access to presidential budgets, weekly scorecards, and a citizen-led oversight council. To guard against corruption, I will submit myself to annual independent audits and make my assets public before and after office. True leadership is accountable leadership. Nigeria deserves nothing less.
- How will your presidency inspire a generation of young Nigerians who have lost hope in the idea of a better Nigeria?
Abayomi Rotimi Mighty: By becoming the example they thought was impossible. They will see a leader who doesn’t loot but listens. Who doesn’t blame but builds. I will appoint qualified youth into my cabinet—not as token representatives, but as policymakers. Through initiatives like Naija Rebuild Corps and StartUp Nigeria, we will unleash youth-led innovation across sectors. When young Nigerians see that their creativity is no longer punished or wasted, hope will rise again like a phoenix from the ashes.
- What does patriotism mean to you in today’s Nigeria, and how would you ignite that same fire in every Nigerian heart, home, and diaspora?
Abayomi Rotimi Mighty: Patriotism, to me, is loving Nigeria even when she hasn’t always loved you back—and working to make her better for those yet unborn. I will ignite this fire through three pillars: Service, Equity, and Storytelling. Every child must be taught not just history, but heroism. National Service will be redefined to include social, environmental, and technological impact. Diaspora Nigerians will have voting rights and clearer paths to invest and return. Patriotism thrives when citizens are proud of their passport—not just their hustle.
- If your presidency ended today, what would you want the average Nigerian to remember about your leadership, in one sentence?
Abayomi Rotimi Mighty: He came to serve, not to steal—and he gave us our dignity back. Economically-Inspiring Questions
- Nigeria’s youth unemployment rate is staggering. What bold, measurable steps will you take in your first 18 months to put young Nigerians to work?
Abayomi Rotimi Mighty: In my first 18 months, I will launch Project 5 Million Jobs—a bold initiative to create five million youth employment opportunities through:
AgroTech Parks in every geopolitical zone
National Digital Corps to train & employ tech-savvy youth
Creative Economy Hubs in Nollywood, fashion, and music industries
Massive investment in renewable energy, construction, and transportation projects
We will track these jobs transparently, with quarterly dashboards published online for all to see.
- With oil revenues declining, what new sectors will you champion to drive Nigeria’s next economic boom—and how do you intend to fund them?
Abayomi Rotimi Mighty: Our future lies in four sectors: Agri-tech, Renewable Energy, Creative Exports, and Knowledge-Based Services. To fund this boom, we will:
Redirect 25% of oil revenues into a Future Fund for sector-specific investments
Open public-private partnerships with clear, investor-friendly frameworks
Establish the Green Bond Initiative for climate-smart infrastructure
Access diaspora capital through trust-based, regulated investment vehicles
Nigeria must stop digging for oil and start digging for ideas.
- How will your administration make Nigeria not just a consumer economy, but a production powerhouse on the African continent?
Abayomi Rotimi Mighty: We will achieve this through:
Industrial Clusters with Tax Incentives for local manufacturing
Reviving Made in Nigeria as both a brand and economic doctrine
Powering industries with dedicated off-grid energy solutions
Banning raw material exports without value addition
Linking vocational education directly to industrial needs
We will not import what we can produce. And we will produce with pride.
- Foreign investors often complain about policy inconsistency and insecurity. How will you restore global confidence in doing business in Nigeria?
Abayomi Rotimi Mighty: By offering what money can’t buy—stability, predictability, and integrity. My government will sign into law the Nigeria Investment Integrity Act, mandating:
A five-year non-reversal clause for critical business regulations
Fast-track commercial courts for investor disputes
Special Economic Zones with guaranteed security and single-window clearances
An annual Presidential Business Roundtable with both local and foreign investors
Business thrives where government keeps its word.
- How will you tackle the Naira’s volatility—and do you support floating the currency fully or defending it at all costs? Why?
Abayomi Rotimi Mighty: Stability is not stubbornness. I support a managed float—not blind defense or reckless floating. The Naira must reflect economic reality, but with buffers to protect our most vulnerable. We will:
Grow foreign reserves through exports, diaspora remittances, and FDI
Curb speculative demand through transparency in FX allocations
Strengthen the CBN’s autonomy while ensuring fiscal discipline Let the Naira be free—but not forsaken.
- If given just one term (4 years), and unlimited political will from all arms of government, what three transformative economic projects would you implement that would forever change Nigeria’s destiny?
Abayomi Rotimi Mighty: Naija Industrial Grid: A continent-class network of industrial cities powered by solar, gas, and rail, strategically placed across Nigeria’s zones to decentralize development and revive manufacturing.
Smart Agriculture Nation: Digitize and mechanize Nigeria’s entire agricultural chain—from seed to shelf. This includes drone-based mapping, precision irrigation, and blockchain-powered farmer payments.
YouthTech Nation Program: Train and certify 10 million youth in AI, cybersecurity, software engineering, and digital design, then export their services under a national freelancing framework, earning Nigeria over $10B in remote income annually.
