2015: Vote out Bad Leaders in Nigeria ns,says Efrebor Nigerians have been called upon to look inwards in the 2015 general election and vote out bad and incompetent leaders irrespective of political, religious and ethnic inclinations. The Executive Secretary of Consumers Rights Project (CRP), Mr. Uche Onu, made the call thursday in Lagos at a press briefing/round table discussion on the state of the nation. Onu, who expressed worries over the abandonment of governance at all levels at the expense of politicking ahead of 2015 elections, said the situation was a great disservice to Nigerians, who voted for their leaders for four-year tenure to provide them dividends of democracy. "It is a very worrisome situation in the country now that governance at all levels has been abandoned at the expense of politicking ahead of 2015 general election. To us at CRP, this is a great disservice to Nigerians who voted our leaders for four years tenure to provide them dividends of democracy like potable water, good hospitals, good schools, effective transportation system, security among others," he said. The right consumer activist also called on the federal government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to quickly resolve their differences in the interest and survival of the educational system, adding that no country could develop its human capital when her university products were poorly trained. Onu also decried the increasing spate of insecurity in the country and called on the federal government to reorganise the police force, “equip them with modern gadgets, train and retrain their personnel, motivate and pay their personnel and provide good retirement benefits for them. "Without any equivocation, it is evidently clear that our country is sliding downwards and therefore we all must rise as compatriots to address and proffer solutions to the various multi-faceted challenges facing us as a nation today.
