Bad leadership, Nigeria’s greatest problem —Diwe

Chairman, Association of South East Town Unions, ASETU, Chief Emeka Diwe, has said bad leadership has been the greatest problem inhibiting Nigeria from realising her full potential as a leading nation.

In a chat with Vanguard in Aba, he contended that once Nigerians got over its leadership problem, nobody would be interested to know who occupies the presidential or governorship position and urged Nigerians to shun money, tribal and partisan politics to elect the proper people at all levels of governance in the country. He said: “Bad leadership has been Nigeria’s greatest problem.

Any day we elect the proper people in positions of power, everything will start working out well. It will no longer matter who is at the centre once we elect the right leadership. “Another thing is that in Nigeria, we must de-emphasize the issue of money in politics.

This is the root cause of our political problems. People must begin to ask questions about some characters that represent them. When people think that everything ends and starts with money, then there is a problem.
