Don’t Milk Nigeria To Death – Obi Of Onitsha Tells Politicians

The Obi of Onitsha, His Royal Majesty, Nnaemeka Achebe, has cautioned the political class against the level of corruption in Nigeria which he likened to milking the country dry.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Achebe warned that Nigeria might die if the political class and leaders in the country continue to milk the country.

He charged them to put the interest of the country above their personal interests.

The monarch spoke yesterday in Abuja at the public presentation of a book, ’Bold Leap’ authored by Senator Chris Anyanwu.

According to Achebe: “Should we continue milking the cow, it will die. In this country, since independence, we’ve been talking and talking and talking and talking and talking.

“I think it’s time we begin to think about doing something because we have two alternatives.

“Keep milking the cow until it dies, because of our sectional interests, which we tend to protect, and our personal interests. People go into public service, not to serve the public, but to serve their interests.

“Either we keep doing that and milk the cow to death, or we do the opposite and place Nigeria above everything else.”
