Even Jesus cannot save Nigeria from running down the cliff – Ohakim

 
Former Governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim, yesterday, in Abuja, blamed Nigeria’s woes on public officers who according to him wrecked and destroyed it.

The former governor noted that the farther the country goes from its independence, the faster the rate of its decline.

Ohakim stated this at the public presentation of the book, Delicate Distress, written by a former Commissioner in Imo State, Dr Amanze Obi.

According to him, the problem with the country had to do with what he described as anger, blackmail, blame game and poor communication.



According to him, “there is distress in this country. This is a country that is on free fall; this is a country where we have hypocrites. The country is descending down the cliff.

“Even if you bring Jesus to be president, the country is running down the cliff. In 1965, the only means of transportation in Dubai was carmel so why are we descending?

“We must bring people who can think. The only way we can develop this country is minding the way we market it
“Is the structure in this country right? Are we running democracy? If we are, what kind of democracy are we running? He questioned.

The governor noted that Nigeria must be totally reformed. He said “This country will not collapse. It is so solid.”*
