Former Minister of Education and the bring back our girls (BBOG) convener Oby Ezekwesili, has condemned the President Muhammadu Buhai’s recent deployment of military personnel to the soldiers in the South-Eastern states which has led to the civil unrest in Abia state.
The BBOG leader who accused the Muhammadu Buhari led federal government of being partial in handling the nation’s affairs, urged the President to act as a true leader by showing love to all instead of the sectional card he is playing.
Ezekwesili who took to her twitter handle said “it is tragic that you, our President, Muhammadu Buhari, have deliberately or inadvertently alienated a segment of the people you lead. The leader of a country cannot be friends only of those he/she likes. No. That is not leadership. The leader builds up groups. Not divide. You cannot lead only those that worship and swear by you. You are the leader. You must carry the burden even of those that detest you.
It is the lowest form of churlishness that is unbecoming of a leader to send signals that you dislike anyone of the groups you lead. A leader is a winner. When a winner acts like a loser, things go wrong in their kingdom. Real leaders build a bond with all their people”.
Tweeting further the former minister said “Worst is when a leader makes enemies of most because he abhors the action of one or a few. That is not leadership! That is ethnic prejudice. A real leader does not suffer from the destructive disease of ethnic prejudice. It endangers his/her people and real leaders cannot bear such.”
