EKO HOT BLOG reports that a former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has said religion and ethnicity are the Chief promoters of inefficiency and failure in Nigeria.
Obi who addressed journalists in his home town, Agulu, Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State, said those who predicate leadership positions on ethnicity and religion, rather than competence and capacity, only promote inefficiency and failure in the country.
Peter Obi spoke after meeting envoys from British High Commission, led by Head of the Political Desk, Aneesah Islam.
He said, “The continued recruitment of people for leadership positions, on any basis other than competence, will only continue to produce a crop of incompetent leaders who are not capable of developing the nation.

“I support zoning of some political offices to ensure fairness and equity, because each zone has competent people capable of developing the nation.”
He said Nigeria has continued to go from bad to worse due to the failure of leadership in the country.
“Insecurity and criminality have worsened under this administration. Nigeria is more divided today than it has ever been. Mediocrity is now celebrated above meritocracy. The standard of living is worsening every day, with soaring inflation and poverty rates.
“All these are happening because we have leaders who gained access to power through ethnic and religious sentiments rather than competence and past records of success.”
