www.odogwublog.com reports that the
former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, has called on African
leaders to look inwards for the solutions to Africa’s problems. Obi gave
the advice on Thursday while speaking at the Inaugural Lecture of Kukah
Centre at the Yar’Adua Centre Abuja.
The
former Governor blamed African leaders for the problems facing the
continent. He said it was high time African elected as their leaders,
tested hands that would become resource creators and managers rather
than those who, due to lack of experience, were easily overwhelmed by
the offices they are elected into.
Thanking
the Kukah Centre for such engagement as provided by the lecture, said
that more of that were needed as part of efforts to deepen democracy. He
however said that such fora should go a step forward in measuring
leaders’ achievements as a way of making sure that they are not reduced
to mere talk shows.
Obi
also commended former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, and the
President of Ghana, Nana Akufor-Addo, for being part of the event.
