Nigeria’s Wasteful And Insensitive Leaders

 By Dan Onwukwe

Very so often, news about Nigeria and its leaders, is profoundly concerning. Worrisome.  Whenever Tinubu presidency is over, I suggest that it should be taught as history lesson in schools – on how not to govern a country on the basis of propaganda and tapestry of lies. Governance is a serious, honest, human enterprise. It should not be the opposite.  Amid a blizzard of shocking revelations of bizarre profligacy in less than seven months in power, it shows some clear,  but disturbing issues about power and leadership in Nigeria. First, nothing that happens to a country that is not like their leaders.

Secondly,  power is like a bikini:  it reveals more than it can hide. In other words, what leaders do when they are trying to get power is not necessarily what they do after they have it. This is Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress revealed. It’s an unravelling story that will perhaps get worse with the passage of time. This is a government of contradiction.
