Former Kogi State governor and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Prince Abubakar Audu, has said the lack of prudent managers in the country gave birth to insurgency.
Audu, who spoke in Ogbonicha, Ofu Local Government Area, during the state Assembly election, said: “It is very pathetic that we have not had good managers in the past 16 years. We are the richest country in Africa, but we are also the poorest. Eighty per cent of Nigerians are poor and our earnings per capital is the worst in the world. How do you explained that, it is bad managers”.
He said the nation’s resources are being cornered by few individuals, but that with the change in government, it will not be business as usual.
He said Buhari’s victory will eliminate poverty, hardship and economic backwardness, adding that the APC will help the country to recover all that it lost in the past. On the state Assembly election, Audu said there were reports of ballot papers snatching and fake ballot papers in some polling units in Ayingba, Iyale and some other areas in the eastern senatorial district of the state.
