Okoh: Nigerian leaders are reckless By Clifford Ndujihe and Rotimi Ojomoyela Tributes poured for the late former Minister of Education, Prof. Abraham Babalola Borishade, yesterday, as his remains were committed to mother earth in Usi-Ekiti, Ekiti State. President Buhari with R-L: Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Former Head of STate Gen. Yakubu Gowon, Wife of the President Mrs Aisha Buhari, Chairman Yinka Folawiyo Group and book presenter Mr Tunde Folawiyo and Executive Chairman BUA Group and Co-Presenter Mr ABdulsalamad Rabiu as he attended Public Presentation of a Book titled- ‘Buhari: The Challenge of Leadership’ at the International Conference Centre Abuja At the funeral ceremony, held at the Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew, Usi Ekiti, the Primate of Anglican Communion, Most Reverend Nicholas Okoh, came hard on Nigeria leaders, describing them as too corrupt. Okoh, who delivered his sermon through the Archbishop of Ondo Province and Bishop of Ondo Diocese, Most Reverend George Lasebikan, called on Nigerian leaders to live lives worthy of emulation, saying “only what you do well on earth will speak for you after your demise”. The Primate regretted that our leaders live lives without regard for death. “You must take a cue from his (Borishade) life. What would people say about you after death? Will they praise or curse you? Meanwhile, the Eastern Consultative Assembly, ECA, has criticised former President Olusegun Obasanjo over his opposition to restructuring of the country and separatist agitations. ECA Secretary General, Evangelist Elliot Ugochukwu Ukoh, said the former president and his military colleagues, who ruled the country, entrenched inequities and injustices that led to agitations. He said former Obasanjo’s statement that “those advocating for secession should perish the thought” is both interesting and quite remarkable. “Interesting because Obasanjo had earlier called the same agitators fraudsters and miscreants, who should be ignored, and remarkable, because the same Obasanjo frustrated efforts by well meaning Nigerians to address the issues that gave birth to the agitation when he threw away the resolutions of the 2005 Political reform conference,”Ukoh told Sunday Vanguard.
