(SPPG), has identified the shortage of competent political leadership as the root cause of Nigeria&#8217;s economic difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing attendees at the inaugural session of the SPPG Distinguished Guest Speaker Series, Ezekwesili emphasized the urgent need for comprehensive reforms, including a new constitution and restructuring of political, electoral, and economic frameworks.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the correlation between effective governance and national progress, Ezekwesili underscored the imperative for a political landscape conducive to good governance.<\/p>\n<p>In her discourse-themed &#8216;Power, Performance and Legitimacy: Renewing Global Democratic Momentum,&#8217; she underscored the findings of the #FixPolitics research, stressing that the absence of good governance remains the foremost impediment to Nigeria&#8217;s economic advancement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/12\/27\/next-nigerias-president-will-face-tough-early-days-ezekwesili\/\">Ezekwesili<\/a> decried the prevailing trend where political leaders prioritize personal interests over the collective welfare of citizens, lamenting the failure of African politicians to fulfil their obligations to the populace.<\/p>\n<p>Proposing a radical solution, Ezekwesili advocated for establishing an innovative SPPG to nurture a new cadre of principled politicians capable of prioritizing public welfare.<\/p>\n<p>She emphasized the necessity of training a new breed of Nigerians in ethical politics, policy, and governance, with a curriculum tailored to instil values that promote the common good.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Ezekwesili called for collective action among Nigerians to demand sweeping reforms, warning against the looming threat of state failure if urgent measures are not taken.<\/p>\n<p>Echoing Ezekwesili&#8217;s sentiments, Prof. Larry Diamond from Stanford University criticized the monopolization of political power by ruling parties, undermining electoral integrity and stifling democratic processes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili identifies shortage of competent political leadership as root cause of Nigeria&#8217;s economic difficulties
