A former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi has said that Nigeria is currently battling with the effects of cumulative failure of leadership over the years.
Obi stated this in Lagos saying that Nigeria has all indices of a failed state and that the country is suffering from cumulative leadership failure.
“We have all the indices of a failed state. What we are experiencing today is a cumulative of leadership failure. We are facing an uncertain future. We have everything but we lack leadership. Everything can be destroyed by poor leadership which is the problem of Nigeria. The quality of leadership is poor and the selection process of the leadership is also poor. We have a divided country but we need a leader that can bring Nigerians together.”
In his own reaction, former NIMASA DG, Dr. Dakuku Peterside urged Nigerians to learn from history and should focus less on events of yesterday and focus on the future.
He said” We often focus on yesterday and pay little emphasis on the future. Nigeria needs unity of vision and purpose.
“Nigeria don’t have a vision that unifies us a nation, but we only have an individual vision
” We should elect leaders who are not realistic but idealistic”. He added
