Speaker, House of Representative, Yakubu Dogara, today in Abuja said Nigeria’s real problem was lack of leadership and not corruption as widely claimed.
Dogara said this at a conference tagged “The Convergence 2.0: Leadership, Power and Politics for Democracy Renewal’’, Nigeria’s largest gathering of elected young representatives, organised by the Not-Too-Young-To-Run Movement.
He said that Nigeria was plagued by a lot of challenges, ranging from being ranked as the third most dangerous countries of the world to terrorism, banditry, unemployment, dearth of healthcare facilities, among others.
According to him, it is a clarion call of nation-building for the youths elected into parliament in the just-concluded elections to use their strength and population to fortify the nation.
He said that in the midst of this pandemic sycophancy, the so-called godfathers expect the children to fit in and not to stand up to be counted or make a difference.
