The immediate past governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi, has blamed
the failure of Nigeria’s past and current Presidents, Governors, and
Ministers for the problems rocking the nation
According to him, there was need to pray for the country to withstand
the “impending collapse staring her dangerously in the face.”
Obi made this known while speaking at the 9th diocesan women conference of Ebenezer Anglican Church in Onitsha, Anambra.
He maintained that the recent agitations coming from different
sections of the country were as a result of joblessness which he
attributed to “accumulated leadership failure” in the country.
The ex-governor said: “Our dear country is the only country in the
world that has as many as 11 million children out of school. Between 70
and 80% of this scary figure do not have jobs.
“So, why won’t there be agitations all over the place? Be it Biafra,
Arewa, Niger Delta; it’s just because of one thing – accumulated
leadership failure all through the years since independence.
“But it’s not just the situation we find ourselves today that is the
headache. The real scary problem is that it will even get worse as we
move into the future. When all these people without jobs get to
retirement age and there’s nothing to fall back on, then the real danger
comes in the open.”
