Former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega has spoken up against the crop of leaders elected into political offices in the country.
Speaking at the first memorial lecture in honour of the first Civilian Governor of Lagos, late Alhaji Lateef Jakande, organised by Federal Social Democrats, (FSD) with the theme, “Selfless Leadership and Good Governance: Jakande as an exemplar", said Nigeria has been afflicted by the misfortune of having characters in governance who are neither selfless nor visionary.
Jega said leaders in the country are greedy for power and money, and are essentially clueless about matters of governance and reckless in the way they handle governmental affairs and consolidators of bad democratic governance.
The former INEC Chairman said;
Quote
“We must first and foremost acknowledge that Nigeria has been afflicted by the misfortune of having characters in governance who are neither selfless nor visionary, who are rather greedy whether for power or money who are essentially clueless about matters of governance and reckless in the way they handle governmental affairs and consolidators of bad democratic governance.

“One of the major challenges of good democratic governance in Nigeria is that of having selfless, patriotic, inclusive and effective leadership in order to drive Nigeria national affairs and the development of the political economy towards the goal of democratic governance. Getting things right would require selfless and visionary leadership.”
Jega also described the late Jakande as a "selfless leader".
He added;
Quote
“He was a leader with great foresight, he was impactful. One can say he touched lives and indeed one can say he was focused in implementing policies, his legacies and his memory lives forever."

You are also more than selfish and visionless, functional, illiterate, having rigged the election against Jonathan to bring your fellow Fulani to power. You are the cause of Nigeria's headache, now as you abused your office for selfish means. Prof. Nwosu has remained the most credible INEC Chairman that brought Abiola to power but, was denied by the then military juntas. Look at what you so called  Jega and Mohammed are doing in the name of conducting election, people who lack vision, you have the gut to call some one selfish leader, and when you were INEC Chairman what role did you play? You can never be exonerated from what is happening in Nigeria. Professor without knowledge, shedding crocodile tears, you can see the effect now, ethnicity and religion. You should be ashamed of your self  speaking publicly about visionless leaders when you are a blind professor. Reap what you had sowed

Pray, who are the Selfish and Visionless Rulers/Leaders in Nigeria beside your Kith and Kin. Sop beating about the Bush. The crooks well know that Southerners can never form a common Front, hence, they use them against themselves. Take the recent charade called election by an Organisation in Abuja, while the Igbo man was celebrating to the Moon,  for scoring over 70 marks, his brother counterpart scored less than 10 marks. The Conquerors well know who is likely to be their errand boy.
