Nigerian professor of political economy and management expert, Pat Utomi, has issued a compelling call to action for political parties in Nigeria, even as he berated the conduct of some lawmakers within the Labour Party.
Utomi emphasizes the urgent need for political entities to exemplify integrity and understanding of Nigeria’s democratic challenges.
The former presidential candidate highlighted the critical role political parties play in shaping the trajectory of Nigeria’s democracy.
Utomi, a founder of the Centre for Value in Leadership (CVL) and the African Democratic Congress, Utomi underscored the significance of leading by example in fostering a robust democratic environment.
He wrote:
“We cannot call for a new way and not show example with our actions. I have been unhappy with many Labour Party Lawmakers conduct. The Party must show integrity and understanding of the fact that Nigeria and its democracy are both failing because of the failure of the parties”.
