How to cut cost of governance - Melaye to Obi

According to Melaye, Obi is raising the conscience of Nigerian youths and the public on governance.

"The problem of this country is beyond just cutting the cost of governance."

Melaye advised that Obi does not need to become governance before reducing the cost of governance, suggesting that an influential minister of finance, budget and planning, CBN governor and economic team chairman can do that.

Melaye stated that we need to unify Nigeria today, adding that trust is lost between the North and the South.
