THE Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum, Governor Aminu Tambuwal, has said Nigeria needs a leader with a broad world view and not a provincial politician.

He equally noted that the leader must be incorruptible, must be a person who understands that the best way to fight corruption is by personal example and building strong institutions capable of withstanding shocks and manipulations.

Tambuwal, who is the governor of Sokoto State, said this in a statement titled, ‘2023 election: The leader Nigeria needs, by Tambuwal,’ made available to newsmen, in Abuja, on Monday, by his Media Office.

He explained that there was no magic wand to curtailing insecurity other than the deployment of relevant tools of good governance, proper technology, necessary military and police equipment, a well-trained and properly remunerated manpower and lowering of tension in the country through the enthronement of a government that serves all and not a section and group.

Tambuwal also noted that Nigeria required the services of, “A leader smart enough to realise the imperatives of restructuring our security and governance structure. MFM Prayers

“Finding such a leader is a task for all and I challenge you all today to find and such a leader in 2023 so that Nigeria can begin the long walk back to peace, security and prosperity for all her citizens.

“Nigeria needs a versatile leader; one that has friends and associates across the length and breadth of this country. A leader with a broad worldview and not a parochial and provincial politician.

“We need an incorruptible leader who understands that the best way to fight corruption is by personal examples and also by the building of strong institutions that can withstand shocks and manipulations.

“Nigeria needs a leader in tune with the times. Who is reasonably aware of the modern demands of technology in solving societal problems.”

The governor was quoted to have said this while speaking on the topic, ‘Security Challenges in Nigeria and Its Implication for Sustainable Development,’ at Richard Akinnola’s birthday lecture held in Lagos, on Sunday.

Nice speech but it won't be you!

Honestly if I am from the North, I won't vote for anyone from the North!

Not with their silence in the ongoing massacre in the North! They couldn't even proffer solution in the NORTH alone how can they now solve the problem of a whole country

They couldn't even hide their oppression of the masses and while the masses are in the IDP camps, with many being killed and kidnapped, they were busy coming in jets, wining and dining

Tell me of what use is this Babangida grand celebration of birthday in this troubling times

What message is he trying to across

That what the people are going through doesn't matter Or you can be very corrupt and still get away with it

Why must we continue to recycle these leaders who have failed us over and over again

If I must say, no president should come from the North for a very long time!

Failure wey dey sell handout on how to Come out with first class....


No be same WhatsApp group u dey with this crop of Govt...

This one don dey try fool him followers.

Better rest x3

My own his east should hv their own president,same with west,same with south.

Northerners can carry cowgeria.

SMH
It is very pathetic knowing that all our past and present Nigerian leaders have very low leadership scorecards....with all the resources the country is blessed with we are still considered as poverty capital of the world because of their corrupt practices and incompetency!


WE NEED YOUNG VISIONARY LEADERS COME 2023.

@SENIORWRITER

It's a pity that Tinubu didn't posses any of the criteria he listed but it's well.

Talking about incorruptible leader that means we will not have a president if we should seek for an incorruptible leader in 2023.

who da hell is he to want to decide for us. we, the youth don wake up now. we no go sidon look

and the speaker accidentally meets all these requirements

whether you list criteria or you no list criteria you still don't fit

Thank God the cretria is against him himself..

tears for Tinubu loading

The moment anyone comes out and say they need an incorruptible leader I'm done listening... No such person exists...

Frankly I had high hopes on buhari and osinbanjo, yes I know they would be huge failures from the get go..
But thought lesser corruption to an extent, but damn I was so wrong, they practically redefined corruption ....

Okay
We have hear

None of the current players fits Tambuwal's description.

Yemi Osinbanjo or I no dey vote.

Like If You share my opinion

He should shut up please!

Ok

Solve the problem in the north first. Insecurity is number one on the list.

Who is Tambuwal to tell us the quality a president should possess. In all honesty our current political class are not fit to be a councilor

Okay we have heard but it wouldn't be you
