Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State, has reacted to the alleged ongoing enslavement of Nigerians and other Africans in Libya and told the Nigerian elites to brace up and take the country out of the present predicaments.
In his comments, he said the news was not only sad but also troubling.
Obi spoke on concerted efforts among Nigerian leaders on the Libyan issue, saying that such tragedy required Nigerians to have a re-think about the trajectory the country was headed to.
His words, “If you listened to my speech, you would see deliberate comparison of Nigeria with other countries of relative development trajectory in the 80’s and how those countries had all overtaken us, because of leadership failures of the past. What we are witnessing in Libya is part of the consequences of that failure. Such occurrences should be utilized by us to advise ourselves as a country that we must wake up and put this country on the right path to avoid implosion in the future.”
Furthermore, Obi called on those saddled with the responsibility of leadership in Nigeria to immediately commence real governance by doing those things that other nations did that took them out of the woods economically speaking.
Obi called on the youth that dream of going to Europe by crossing the Mediterranean Sea via Libya to resolve to take back Nigeria for Nigerians by resisting being bought with money during elections.
