Political economist, Prof. Pat Utomi, has said Nigeria needs a pan-Nigerian nationalist, a selfless and intellectual leader, to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
The former presidential candidate on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Lagos.
According to him: “Nigerians need a person of competence and compassion, someone who is very selfless and a pan-Nigerian nationalist with a track record of a life of service.
“Not somebody who spends his life just thinking about himself and suddenly decides that okay, I have enough money I can now lead them.
“We need a true Nigerian accepted in all parts of the country, exposed to all parts of the country in the reality of his life, not in talks and the person must have friends in every part of Nigeria.
“We need a person who is interested in collegial leadership.”
