Prof. Joseph Ezigbo, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Falcon Corporation Limited, has said that Nigerians deserve what is happening in the country and where the country is today.
Preof Ezigbo told Realnews in an exclusive interview in Lagos that “it is terrible that we are where we’re at the moment.”
“They say each group of people deserve who they elected as their leaders. If we open our eyes and rather than vote for competence, we vote for tribalism, we vote for religion, that’s why we’re where we’re today because it is so plain to everybody.
“We do things for our selfish reasons, the reason we’re here today is because there is no Nigeria, there’s nobody who is a Nigerian today. Everybody is either Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa or Muslim or Catholic or protestant, we need to have Nigerians that care about Nigeria,” he said.
Speaking on how the coming election will affect the economy of the country, Prof. Ezigbo said that for the first time in the history of Nigeria, ”we are coming to terms with the fact that we need an expert to lead us to the so called promised land,
“We need somebody who is able to articulate the problems of Nigeria and have the ability to carry us through, we have been in the wilderness for years, a journey that would have taken a couple of weeks has taken us years, we have a situation where we have an economy that has been badly mismanaged over the years and because the leaders don’t have the political and economic will to do what is right, our economy has been dancing to the tune of several vagrancies that have made it impossible for us to have a true nation,” he said.
On Nigeria’s journey to redemption, Prof. Ezigbo explained that Nigeria can only be redeemed “if we put our mouth where our money is, that then we would have a chance of bringing up Nigerians who would care for Nigeria.”
