Governor Abubakar Bello of Niger State has linked the failures recorded in governance since the coming of democracy in 1999 to incompetent leaders who took over the leadership from the military, IgbereTV reports.

Speaking at a youth summit organised by a member of the House of Representatives and Chairman Board of Trustees of Lead Generation Initiative (LGI) Shina Peller in Abuja, Bello said when the military decided to hand over power to civilians, a lot of competent people never believed in the process and therefore stood back and watched while the system was manipulated by incompetent people.

He said;

“For them (those who took power from the military), occupying political offices was business and they accumulated a lot of wealth.”

The Governor who insisted that “the position of a councillor or ward leader is fundamental and also very important for the development of the country”, told educated youths not to be ashamed of aspiring for leadership position in the country as their involvement especially at the grassroots level, will enable them to take leadership positions and effect the change they desire instead of just complaining on the sidelines.

Chai. Even the most incompetent and useless governor since 1999 is talking. I dont blame him. I blame apc and Buhari that so lowered governance that these failures now look good

When personal interest overrides patriotism this is what we get. Same set of leaders who were military leaders have ruled us for 13 years of the 21 years of democracy since 1999.

Agreed but you're also one of the incompetent leaders we have now.

Can we say Niger state has the governor?
Yahaya Bello is much more better than this figure heard
