The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, on Tuesday said Nigeria needed leaders who would not pander to godfathers but serve the people and build the nation.

He disagreed with those who believed that the major disease afflicting the nation was financial corruption, saying “rather, the real disease has been the absence of true leadership which in turn breads moral corruption and wickedness.”

He said, “Nigeria’s real disease is lack of leadership. I disagree with all those who say our major national disease is financial corruption; rather, the real disease has been the absence of true leadership which in turn breads moral corruption and wickedness. Get a true leader that solves moral corruption and wickedness; when that happens, you will search for financial corruption to no avail.

He challenged the incoming legislators to be prepared to serve because they carried the burden and promises of a generation that must not fail. “While godfathers always pretend to be something other than who they really are, leaders do not. Imagine where we will be as a nation if all these godfathers that litter the political landscape become what or who they pretend to be?”
