Governors act like emperors and want citizens to sacrifice for the Nation - Obasanjo



Obasanjo accused State Governors of living luxury life and want the citizens to make sacrifice for Nigeria to survive hard times. Obasanjo spoke in Ibadan at a conference with the theme, "Getting government to work for development and democracy in Nigeria: Agenda for change."

“Nigeria is a country where some governors have become sole administrators, acting like emperors. These governors have rendered public institutions irrelevant and useless.

“Is there development work going on in the 774 constitutionally-recognised local government councils, which have been merely appropriated as private estates of some governors?

“Some governors have hijacked the resources of the local governments and this has crippled the development of the local government councils in the country. The National Assembly must also open its budgets to public scrutiny.”
