A social commentator, Chief Adesunbo Onitiri has said Nigeria’s myriad of problems is caused by bad leadership and not corruption as made to believe by the ruling class.
Onitiri stated this in his independence message to Nigerians on Thursday.
He also advised President Muhammadu Buhari to cut down cost of running governance in Nigeria.
Onitiri, an accomplished and reputable Estate Surveyor/Valuer noted that Nigerians have not yet to feel the impact of good governance in the country because the cost of maintaining public office holders is too high.
His statement reads in full: “President Buhari should raise new generation of visionary, patriotic and committed politicians that will take us to the promised land.
Our present political structure has been taken over by looters, vagabonds and thugs who don’t mean well for our country.
Besides, President Buhari should cut down on the cost of governance, slash down salaries and entitlements of political office holders especially the take-home pay of National Assembly members.
He should strive to plug all loopholes and conduit pipes in government so that it will be difficult to steal by politicians and government officials.
The problem of Nigeria is visionary Leadership and NOT CORRUPTION.
The Presidency should ensure that all strategic public appointments are distributed equally amongst the six geographical zones so that no zone is marginalized. The Presidency should promptly attend to all genuine agitations of marginalization and nepotisms.
Happy independent anniversary and God bless Nigeria.
