The Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, has blamed Nigerians’ attitude for the country’s present woes.

Ajimobi, who said this at the 20th anniversary celebration in memory of the founder of the Development Policy Centre, Prof. Oyetunji Aboyade, on Monday in Ibadan, noted that the coming together of different tribes to form Nigeria should be a source of blessing rather than a curse.

He said, “Nigerians must change for things to improve in this country. The issue of amalgamation is more germane because 2014 will mark the centenary of the amalgamation. Nigerians should not blame the country’s problem on amalgamation, rather we should think of how to solve the present challenges confronting the country.”

The governor cited the United States as an example of a country with multiple race but uniform development. He therefore, urged Nigerians to emulate the US and live in unity.
