Nigeria Has Nothing To Lose, What We Need Is Good Leadership – Dederi

The Chairman of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), Kano State Council and spokesperson of the state pilgrim welfare board, Comrade Sulaiman Abdullahi Dederi, has said that Nigeria is a blessed country, but the poor continue to live in misery, due to the problems that have gripped the northern part of the country.

Speaking while featuring on “NIGERIA TODAY”, a programme which is aired on NNBC every Sunday, Dederi said that security problems, poverty, lack of education and corruption have become “bricks embedded in the country’s governance”, which he said has now left millions of people in misery.

“Everywhere you turn in the North, you will see that we are in a difficult situation. Our youth are tired of traditional politics, they are tired of leaders who fail to deliver on their promises,” he said.

Comrade Dederi said that at such times, it is imperative that the nation looks to people who have spent time in the field of leadership, understand the strategies of running a country, and are interested in seeing a new style of leadership developed.

He also said that during his time on NNBC, he has often presented strategies on how to address security challenges, curb corruption, and build a sustainable economy that will enable the youth to find jobs and progress in life.

“Nigeria has nothing to lose. What we need is good leadership, honesty and order. If we stand together, we can change this country,” he noted.

Dederi stressed that a person’s history is not limited to what was said in the past, but to what he plans to do now and in the future. He called on the youth to stop waiting for promises and become the architects of their own future by supporting visionary and good leaders.

“Nigeria needs leaders who are not afraid to stand up for the truth, who do not routinely drag the poor into promises they cannot fulfill,” he concluded.
