Peter Obi, has said Nigeria needs political office holders who have identity and authentic credentials.
Speaking at the Chinua Achebe Symposium at Princeton University, US on Friday, VerseNews reports that Obi said Nigerians must start working towards a country driven by competence and commitment to fighting corruption.
He submitted that leaders in Africa’s biggest economy must be committed to the rule of law.
“We must have leadership that is committed to the rule of law… that has an identity and credentials that can be verified. We can start thinking of a new Nigeria with competence, and capacity that is committed to fighting corruption. Is it possible to fight corruption? The answer is yes
“The trouble with Nigeria is self-inflicted. If Achebe was alive, he would have taken back the book. When he wrote it, there was no trouble. Now, there is real trouble in Nigeria. Rascality has become a measure of success in Nigeria. That must change.”
