Mr Peter Obi
The former Anambra State governor, Mr Peter Obi has again called for constructive engagement as panacea to the restiveness sweeping across the country.
Mr Obi made this remarks while answering questions during an interactive session with some journalists in Lagos, yesterday.
Obi who traced the problems in the country to what he called “Leadership failure” over the years said:
“What we are going through now is a cumulative result of several years of leadership failure, poor choices at various facets of our country.
“Recession is only an aggravating factor.”
He regretted that progressively, the youth became misdirected as they had to take as their role models, failed and incompetent leaders who have messed the country by foisting distorted values on the people.
Obi said that urgent steps were needed to be taken to save the country from a worse situation.
He therefore called for genuine restructuring of the country in a manner that will offer hope and sense of belonging to the people of the country.
Obi expressed satisfaction with the present engagement with the people by the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
He urged him to go many nudges higher by engaging directly with those involved in various agitations, insisting that the people have lost confidence on those that pretend to speak for them.
