The former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has accused the political elites of destroying the country.
OsunDaily News reports that Ezewesili made the claims in a post via Twitter on Friday, saying the politicians are busy sharing public offices.
According to the ex-minister, the political elites see governance as a series of transactions and nothing more.
Oby Ezekwesili noted that the politicians are unbothered about governance adding the only force against wicked leadership is unified citizens who act collectively.
She wrote, โOur decadent political class are busy sharing public offices in a country they have run aground; totally oblivious to the state of mind of the majority of their citizens.
โThese folks are much to be pitied for being those the Bible refers to in Ecclesiastics 10v16: Woe to you, O land whose king was a servant and whose princes feast in the morning.
โHe that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: The Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure.
Psalm 2:4-5.
โThe erosion of the Nigerian State is the ultimate goal of a political class that sees Governance as a series of transactions and nothing more.
โThe countervailing force against them in a Democracy are unified citizens who act collectively to reverse the โcurse of wicked leadershipโ.
