Money will fail Nigerian political elites vowing to run for president in 2023, according to Oby Ezekwesili, a former Minister of Education.
This comes only hours after Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, notified President Muhammadu Buhari of his intention to run for President in 2023.
While criticizing Tinubu’s presidential ambition on Twitter, Ezekwesili stated that the era of ‘turn by turn’ elections of inept leaders in Nigeria was ended.
Nigeria, she believes, cannot continue to fail as a nation due to weak leadership.
Her tweets read, “I watched one of those so-called “public analysts” boast that “ Bola Tinubu has consulted the President. It is a given that Bola Tinubu will be the next President of Nigeria.
“In a democracy oh, it is not your fault. Money will fail in the 2023 elections, mark my words.
“It is citizens that have the power to collectively tell the likes of Mr Bola Tinubu that the season of lowest common denominator of political leaders doing “turn-by-turn” incompetent governance of Nigeria is over.
“The question is, ‘are citizens ready to collectively do so?’ A country like Nigeria cannot keep digging deeper into the labyrinth of failure because of a low degree of public leadership.
“The 21st Century is racing fast to an end. Just look at where our continent lies prostrate at the feet of bad governance.”
