Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has said the reason why Nigeria isn’t working presently is because many individuals in various offices were recruited based on sentiment.
The 2019 Presidential candidate affirmed this on Wednesday when he joined his PDP ally, Governor Nyesom Wike of River State, to commission the Constructed Internal Road Phase 2 in Isiokpo, Ikwere Local Government Area of the state.
“The reason Nigeria is not working today is that people have been recruited based on sentiments,” Peter Obi said, discouraging the practice.
“If we have to recruit you to be local government chairman, governor, vice president, president, and minister, it must be based on capacity and competence, which are viable not what we are doing now and the country is collapsing”.
According to the Nigeria Security Commission (NSC) former chairman, accountability in government is a very critical yardstick to determining good governance and builds in the citizens.
He appreciated Governor Wike for his work for the Rivers State people, urging all entrusted with the welfare of the people to give their all.
