Former Minister of Education and founder of FixPolitics Initiative, Obiageli Ezekwesili, has bemoaned the disastrous nature of politics in Nigeria, adding that it was deserving of urgent overhaul, IgbereTV reports
Oby, in a statement on Monday, noted that Nigerian leaders were indifferent to the problems ravaging the entire country.
She was particularly disillusioned by the recent reality of incessant kidnapping, banditry and others, which have paralyzed the country.
She added that her recent involvement in the political activities in the country was inspired by her plan to bring up moves capable of changing the country’s political dimension.
She reiterated that fixing Nigeria’s embarrassing politics demands a cosmopolitan reorientation in the quality of the electorate, system structure and leadership philosophy.
She added that Nigeria’s arrested development could be exonorated through quality leadership, the readiness of its citizens and a change in the country’s political system.
She said: “To fix a country’s politics it takes three things: an engaged and empowered electorate, a pipeline of competent and ethical new leaders, and a regulatory structure that keeps the political process fair and competitive
