The Ohanaeze Ndigbo has called on Nigerians to end lamentations and
side-talks about the supposed ineptitude of political leaders.
It said they should participate deeply in the political process in order to produce quality and experienced political leaders.
The Igbo socio-cultural organisation believed that socioeconomic
underdevelopment in Nigeria was as a result of poor political leadership
that could initiate or influence decisions that would transform the
society.
President General of Ohaneze, Chief Nnia Nwodo, who spoke at The
Authority Newspapers Award Night, in Abuja, exposed Nigerians to the
consequences of not participating in the selection process of political
leaders.
He said, “If those who are competent and experienced sit back and
refuse to participate in political process, then quacks and people with
questionable character would automatically take over the political
space. And the lamentations would continue.”
He challenged Nigerians to endure all inconveniences and get
registered, and also collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), so they
could enjoy the opportunity of making the right choice at the polls.
Nwodo was hopeful that government and other stakeholders would support
the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in its quest to
organise a free, fair and credible elections that would attract less
litigation.
