Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has stated that in order for Nigeria to overcome its economic challenges, Nigerians must ensure that visionary leaders are elected in the coming elections.
Obi, who served as Atiku Abubakar’s running mate in the 2019 presidential election, announced this in a series of tweets on Thursday.
He explained that the call had become necessary as a result of the mismanagement of borrowed funds had become major contributors to the country’s economic problems.
He tweeted, “Our past and continued mismanagement of borrowed funds and borrowing for consumption are the major contributors to the monumental economic challenges confronting Nigeria today.
“Today, we are spending 90% of our revenue servicing debts because, ironically, our borrowed funds were mismanaged and have not been properly invested.
“If the funds borrowed were invested in critical areas of development, education, health, and poverty alleviation, Nigeria would have developed far beyond what it is today.
