A former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has said that Nigeria needs to have wealth creators managing her affairs and not wealth sharers, if the country is to make any meaningful progress.
He made this submission during a recent media chat in Lagos, during which he was asked to share his thoughts on the future of Nigeria.
The former governor dismissed the repeated excuse by those in power that they are unable to keep their election campaign promises because they do not have enough resources to work with.
Asked pointedly whether he is vying for any position, Obi said his preoccupation now is to be a small person in a great Nigeria and not a great person in a failed Nigeria.
He, however, stressed that he is ready to serve in any capacity to make Nigeria great and that he is doing that now without being in office.
Obi went further to say that the discussion now should not be who is contesting or occupying any office but how Nigeria moved from 35 per cent under-employment and unemployment to 40 per cent.
