Fela Durotoye, a public speaker and leadership coach last week announced his membership of Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN) under whose platform he aspires to contest the 2019 presidential election. He spoke with journalists on his desire for a new Nigeria and other issues. TEMIDAYO AKINSUYI brings the excerpts:

You are known as a public speaker and leadership coach. How does it feel to be a politician?

I know what it is to be a technotician, which is what we are in ANN. I don’t know whether I will need to learn what it means to be a politician but we are technocrats here and technoticians who have a deep understanding of political structures and realities and we also are not just focused on politics and the power of it but really the deliverance of good governance for the benefit of the people. So, I know what it means to be a technotician.

What is your background and professional calling?

I am professionally a business management consultant. My focus is business strategy and my area of specialty is on corporate transformation. I started my professional career in 1992 as an investment manager and consultant with focus on venture capital and project finance. I worked with Ventures and Trusts Limited that time the sole investment consultant to the European Investment Bank. Thereafter, I went to an MBA. Then I came back and joined a company called Phillips Consulting. I worked in the Total Quality Management Unit and then I went on to set up a customer service unit.
