The Senator-Elect of Bayelsa east senatorial district and chairman
silverbird group, Sen Ben Bruce has indicted the leadership of the
Nigeria as the sole problem befalling her.
Sen Bruce in his speech during the silverbird man of the year award
clearly stated that the problem faced by Nigeria was not ethnic,
religious or politically inclined, but basically a problem of right
versus wrong
He further clarified that the north was not agitating for a religious
cause or the south for marginalization as widely believed but that the
entire nation was in deep crisis because a particular section of the
nation deliberately embezzle the entire resources meant for the
development of the nation and its populace
He said "Nigeria's problem is not about the north versus the south or
Christianity versus Muslim or about People Democratic party (PDP)
versus All Progressive Congress (APC), the problem of Nigeria is about
right versus wrong."
"The issue is very simple, we have a small minority of people-The
leadership of Nigeria consuming all the resources of our nation and
leaving the rest of us in abject poverty- that can not work." He
declared
Sen Bruce further advised that Nigerian leaders should be humble
enough to conserve the resources of the nation so that the poor masses
could have food to eat, go to school, have access to good health care
facilities and jobs for every youth in the nation.
The senator noted that over 70 million young Nigerians go hungry every
day due to lack of proper management of the nations resources yet the
leaders get infuriated when they are robbed or harmed
He called for the unanimous growth of every citizen of Nigeria and for
the leaders to curb their exorbitant lifestyle and learn to lead by
example and not seek public office to become lords over people who
voted them into power.
The visibly indignant senator elect warned that leaders of the nation
should desist from embarking on expensive trips abroad at the
detriment of the nation and its citizens as the resources spent on
such superfluous trips could be channeled to the development of the
nation as he emphasized that if the current routine should persist the
nation was bound to face serious challenges in the nearest future.
"The crisis we have is a class warfare and if we don't control our
consumption behaviors this young kids will not be able to read and
write but they will know how to make guns, grenades, bombs etc so when
they get hungry and angry you become the victim, you will never have
enough money to run and hide, you will be caught and you will die." He
declared.
