The Director of Publicity and Advocacy of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has warned that Nigeria might sink if she did not substantially change leadership in 2023.

He, however, said the quality of leaders that would emerged from the 2023 elections would determine her survival.

At the same time, a pan-Yoruba Socio-Political Organisation, Afenifere, yesterday, advocated for a Government of National Unity to midwife a new democratic government.

Speaking at the 2022 Pre-May Day Symposium organised by the Kaduna State chapter of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), with the theme: “Labour, Politics and the Quest for Good Governance and Development in Nigeria”, Baba-Ahmed urged Nigerian workers to rise up to determine the right leaders for the country.

He also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to talk to the relations of those kidnapped in the Abuja-Kaduna train attack to let them know about government’s efforts in trying rescuing their love ones.

Baba-Ahmed said, “The 2023 elections is not an ordinary election, if we don’t substantially change the leadership of this country in 2023, this country is sunk. The politicians would use religion, party lines to divide us but in the end, what will be left is a broken country of divided people.”

According to him, “Nigeria has to go through a major reform and part of the process has to start now. We need to improve the quality of our leadership. In the last 10 years, we have elected poor leaders.

“We need to elect good leaders, who will care about the poor, about the children of the poor, about the education of the poor, about security of everybody. We need to elect good leaders in 2023 or this country is finished.”

The NEF spokesman said, Nigeria needed organisation, stressing that organised bodies like the NLC, needed to raise their voices to demand good governance.

His words: “Why is labour quiet about issues affecting the country? Why is labour not talking in the face of the challenges facing the country? Advise President Buhari to invite the families of those kidnapped Abuja-Kaduna passengers train to tell them what government is doing and give them words of encouragement.

Easier said than done. Some politicians are perfecting the plots to rig the primaries in order to clinch the party flags for the forthcoming elections. Some are not even concerned about the myriad of challenges bedevilling the country right now. It is now very clear that all that they use to manipulate the people into voting them are seeds bondages. Let the people be encouraged to vote their conscience and the politicians will sit up.
