‘Nigeria lacks leaders who speak truth to power’ —Obi

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, has lamented the lack of leaders who have the courage to speak truth to power.

Obi who bared his mind while speaking during the 10th anniversary of Alaigbo Development Foundation in Umuahia, Abia State on Saturday, said it was regretable that with the abundance of praise singers who tell leaders what they what to hear, there was no way the country could move forward.

The former Anambra State governor who blamed the woes of the country on what he described as avarice and insatiable quest for wealth among public office holders, challenged Nigerians to speak truth to power and stop hero worshipping.
