“The concept of one Nigeria, therefore, is still just a theory. Another factor responsible for our current disunity is the lack of political will to devise a constitution that supports true federalism.
“The nation lacks a true national leader with a clear determination and focus to unify the country.
“It is the leader that charts and navigates the way for the flock to follow and it is the leader’s action, inaction and body language that dictate the tunes for the dance steps of the public.
“There is no doubt that inefficient leadership is the major challenge retarding the growth and sustainable development of Nigeria,” Governor Okowa said.
