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.
