2023: Are politicians ready for tough times as Sanusi raises alarm again?
At almost every corner in the city centres, Nigerians are engaged in continuous permutations, discussions, and debates on the kind of leadership the country deserves.
Some agree with the concept that a country deserves the leadership it gets. They have argued Nigeria deserves a leader that will not succumb to public sentiment but a leader who acts only on the policy of its administration. Others are, however, of the opinion that a listening leader who takes into cognizance the opinions of Nigerians would do better.
According to the latter’s school of thought, the country is where it’s today because leaders have refused to listen to the masses when they cry out. They believe that if this continues, those coming to power in 2023 will have more problems to face than the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.
