2015: Don Advises Nigerians To Elect True Leaders

A member of the recently concluded National Conference, Prof. Yusufu Turaki, has advised Nigerians to vote wisely during the February general elections and elect credible and competent leaders who have the capability of solving the myriad of problems bedeviling the country.

Turaki gave the advice while presenting a paper during a political awareness seminar organised by the Church of Christ in Nation (COCIN) tagged: “2015 Election and Me”, held at the COCIN headquarters church in Jos, Plateau State.

He noted that the country needs a true leader and not one who is in dare need of leadership, adding that leadership is not for self aggrandisement but to bring about the needed transformational change and development.

Turaki further charged Nigerians to know the importance of their votes and advised the electorates to use the power of their votes wisely so that they will not become political slaves after the 2015 general elections.

According to him, Nigeria as a nation cannot develop unless the problem of ethno-centrism is tackled headlong so as to allow both the leaders and the followers to pursue genuine nationhood, citizenship, development and national interest.
