Delegates at the ongoing National Conference yesterday admitted that Nigerian leaders across board, including the delegates, are responsible for woes the country is currently through.
Two delegates, the Emir of Dutse, Alhaji Nuhu Sanusi, and a former senator, Florence Ita-Giwa, said this yesterday at the ongoing National Conference in Abuja, adding that corruption has eaten deep from the lowest level to the highest in the country
Sanusi said, “We are responsible for what Nigeria is facing today and we are also the answer to the problem of this country. There is corruption from the local government to the highest level.”
On the recent ill-fated Immigration recruitment, the monarch said there was urgent need for jobs to be created for millions of jobless youths to forestall a similar tragedy in the future, adding that instead of bickering, delegates should consider ways of creating jobs for Nigerians and curbing corruption.
He also noted that as delegates, “we are not in this conference to fight.”
On her part, Ms. Ita-Giwa, who also reasoned along with the emir, said many of the problems Nigeria is facing were caused by some of those appointed delegates to the conference.
Ita-Giwa said: “Some of the problems facing this country today were caused by some of us who are in this conference.”
She appealed to the leadership of the conference to allow each delegation to make a presentation, adding that every delegation has a position on critical national issues.
She therefore called for a flower vase that was kept in front of conference Chairman, Justice Legbo Kutigi, to be removed so that he would have direct eye contact with delegates on the floor.
