Since 1999 Governors have been the problem of this Country – Former Lawmaker, Umar Na’abba

Former speaker of the house of representatives, Alhaji Ghali Umar Na’abba has blamed Governors for the problem of the Country.

He said this while hosting a delegation of the Na’abba Youth Organization. He claimed that Nigerians are now running from politics because Governors have pocketed political parties and now decide who would contest for positions in elections.

He noted that the only way change can come is if equal opportunity is given to all to contest for party primaries

Na’abba said; “Since 1999 governors have been the problem of the country. They contributed to the death of democracy within the political parties. And when there are no elections within the parties, then incompetent leaders will emerge and that will affect the whole political system and the country’s development too.

“The governors have caused all these. They will hardly hold primaries. Rather they will ask you to go for consensus; which is wrong.

“If we really want to see changes in the country, we must change our democracy and give equal chances to all. Give chances for elections within parties so that the masses and the rich will have roles to play. Only that can bring changes. Not what they (governors) are doing. That will not lead us anywhere. Rather it will deteriorate the situation of the country
