1. In Nigeria, we need to fix the vehicle (government), the drivers (leaders) and the passengers (citizens) to arrive at a developed economy. To fix the vehicle, let’s encourage the National Assembly to act urgently on the REPORT OF THE APC COMMITTEE ON TRUE FEDERALISM.
2. For the passengers (citizens), we must discuss and agree on the destination (the vision of a developed economy), and on the values that will get us there. We won’t get there without each of us committing to value for life, honesty, equality, innovation, excellence, etc.
3. For the drivers (leaders), character, skills and capacity are not negotiable. We must ensure they’re driving in the right direction, speak up if they’re driving into a ditch, and change them when necessary. Remember though, a bad vehicle can still mess up a good driver.
4. No driver (including President) can work magic with a bad vehicle and passengers without a defined destination. Let’s rise above religious and ethnic divisions, and selfish desperation for only personal success, to build a country beautiful for all.
