The Nation Newspaper A better Nigeria possible, says Obi
He noted that the country could be better, given its rich endowments in land, weather, natural and human resources.
The event, a colloquium and hall of fame in honour of LP National Chairman Julius Abure, with the theme: The Contemporary Nigerian Politics: The Way Forward for Edo State, was chaired by Abia State Governor Alex Otti. Obi, who restated his commitment to the Nigerian project, said: “I am not a saint and I am not a criminal. I have never done anything that is wrong. I have served the state and I have served in the private sector. Today, we are going through difficulties. If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.
“A country as Nigeria has no reason to be poor, if not because of leadership. We have more resourceful young people in Nigeria. We have leadership in Nigeria that is engulfed in wasteful consumption but no production. When you move from consumption to production, you will create jobs for the people.”
“How much money do you need to eat, as a human being? How long will you live as a human being? Everybody here, no matter how big or small you are, in 100 years from today, we will all be covered with earthworms. So, what are you acquiring things for?The chief host, Prof. S. E. Eromosele, who is the Chancellor/Founder of Mudiame University, Irrua, described the event as timely.
