Attahiru Jega, the former Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has claimed Nigeria is in the process of collapsing.
According to Jega, the reckless elite who control the country, are blindly running the country aground.
The former INEC boss stated this during the 2022 Workers’ Political Conference organized by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, in Abuja.
He said considering the current situation in the country, 2023 general elections may be the ‘make or break’ epochal moment.
Painting a gloomy of the situation in the country, Prof. Jega said that Nigeria is, undoubtedly, at a point in its history when the issue of national emancipation for credible national development, beneficial to the Nigerian people, requires being raised high on the front banner of national discourses by patriotic Nigerians and friends of Nigeria, and especially by the Nigerian workers themselves.
While calling that all hands of progressive forces must be on deck to prevent the country from the alleged imminent collapse, the former university don, “The sorry state of the socio-economic conditions under which the Nigerian working people, indeed the overwhelming majority of all citizens live and work, the reckless misrule and mis-governance by a tiny, rabid and reckless band of elite, and the manner by which these myopic ‘elected’ so-called ‘leaders’ and their collaborators, have devastated the Nigerian economy, heightened insecurity, and virtually destroyed the basis for national cohesion and integration, Nigeria, as a potentially great nation, is crying for a rescue mission, before it is too late.
