Elder statesman and chairman Taraba State Civil Service Commission (CSC) Chief John Mamman has stated that @64 what Nigerians are currently having as leaders are no more but mere commission agents.
According to him, how can you describe leaders in a country that has lost hope, direction, vision and trust but is a mockery to other African countries and International community?
The Taraba Chieftain who disclosed this in an exclusive interview with our correspondent in Jalingo on Wednesday described the state of Nigeria as sympathetic and in coma, wondering if these were the dreams of founding fathers who gave all they had for independence to Nigeria and her people.
The elder statesman said the current challenges bedeviling this country such as ill-policies, insecurity, untold hardship, corruption, bad governance among legion others has dashed the hope of independence.
He noted that Nigeria which used to be ascribed as a giant of Africa in the early 70s to 90s now has been relegated at the bar due to high corrupt tendencies of so called “leaders”.
The CSC chairman further revealed that those who witnessed the pre-independent era were now weeping considering what he referred to as “commission agents” who are today parading themselves as leaders of the most popular black nation called Nigeria.
On condition of Nigeria at 64, the statesman disagreed with the popular saying that there would be light after the tunnel but instead concluded Nigeria’s case as ugly which required oxygen and divine intervention to survive the situation.
He accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of reckless spending citing instances of renovated an official home of a government official with over N200 Billion, acquired presidential aircraft to the tune over N2 trillion apart from allocated huge billions of naira to the National Assembly members for official vehicles while over 300 million Nigerians are currently suffering in object hunger due to hardship and mal-administration.
On the way forward, the elder statesman urged the present administration to stop issuing palliative to Nigerians but instead to revive the moribund industries across the nation as well as improve on the Nigeria refineries to enable the teaming youth of the nation to get employed.
