Chairman
of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ebonyi State, Onyekachi Nwebonyi,
on Wednesday, stated that President Muhammadu Buhari was not the
problem of Nigeria, but his lieutenants.
Nwebonyi, who stated this
while briefing newsmen in Abakaliki on the state of the nation, stressed
that the country was gradually becoming a failed state, if nothing
drastic was done to stern the tide of corruption, insecurity and
unemployment bedevilling the country.
The Chairman lamented over the
increasing wave of insecurity, food scarcity, youth restiveness,
unemployment and diversion of public funds into private accounts.
He
added that if the issue of management of resources and leadership was
properly addressed, Nigeria would regain its lost glory.
According
to him, Nigeria was still performing below expectations, considering
the dreams and aspirations of the country’s founding fathers.
He
said: “We have not started vis-a-vis the aspirations of our founding
fathers. Insecurity is on the rise, scarcity of food is on the increase.
Unemployment and poverty are also on the rise.
“It is our duty to reshape this country. A nation that will provide jobs for the teeming Nigerian youths.
“We are moving to a failed nation, but we have not got there. President
Buhari is not the problem of Nigeria, but his lieutenants.
“We need
a leader who is fit, competent. Ruwanda, Ghana are now above Nigeria.
Nigeria is now the most underdeveloped nation in terms of the
utilisation of its natural endowments to prosper her people.”
