A teacher, rights activist and former presidential candidate, Professor Chris Nwaokobia Junior, has stressed the need for a new Nigeria, redeemed from its current state of tragedy.


He attributed the country's woes to poor leadership, noting that true democracy has been replaced with rule by civilians who prioritize personal and family interests over the nation's well-being.


Professor Nwaokobia Junior made this known while appearing on The People's breakfast, the flagship breakfast show of The People's 105105.5FMAbuja, emphasizing effective leadership puts the country first, whereas the current leadership in Nigeria promotes falsehood, looting, and thievery.


He stressed that having civilians in power doesn't necessarily define democracy; rather, it's the presence of constructive criticism, tolerance for opposition, and patriotic leadership that truly matters.


The professor also highlighted the importance of restructuring Nigeria, citing the need for a true federation where regions control their resources and pay taxes to the federal government.


To achieve this, he called for Nigerians to come together and work towards a more equitable system, emphasizing that by doing so, the nation can unlock its vast potential, leveraging its talented human resources to drive progress and meet the expectations of the global community.
