Monarch Blames Poor Leadership On Sycophancy

A traditional ruler in the State and Head of Chief Saturday Jaja War Canoe House, in King Jaja Group of Houses, Opobo Town, Chief Reuben Jaja, has condemned those he described as sycophants and greedy who manipulate African leaders into despotism.
Speaking with journalists recently in Port Harcourt, Jaja explained that sycophants deceive totalitarian leaders like the Late Head of State, General Sani Abacha to believe that they were popular instead of notorious.
He quoted the former Prime Minister of Britain, Mrs Margaret Thatcher as having referred to the late Sani Abacha as lunatic following the alleged killing of people during his reign.
Chief Jaja attributed the problem of Africa to poor leadership, greed, incompetence and extra : African problems usually inflicted on Africa by foreign countries
He, however, did not agree that the entire problems of Nigerian economy were based on Sani Abacha’s policy of Africanising the nation’s economy which sent out over 70,000 foreigners from Nigeria.
Chief Jaja, an international economist, was of the view that the new partnership for african development was the only competent body to properly address African problems.
On the future of Nigeria, Chief Jaja said that peace was beyond the absence of military hostilities to include food security and reconstruction of social institutions that would cater for the interest of the citizenry.
He further called on President Muhammadu Buhari, the 36 state governors, national and state lawmakers, as well as, the entire Nigerins to make the country conducive for development.
According to him, “without genuine leadership mindset of our leaders, it will be difficult to build better bridges of acceptable development in Nigeria for peace, unity and stability to thrive”.
Chief Jaja, who doubled as Chairman of BFI Group also admonished Nigerian leaders to create an enabling environment, where the people can be encouraged through employment, skills training and other needed incentives that can quell the current heat of insecurity.
He used the opportunity to enjoin all the warring sections in the country to shelve their agitations and give the government more time to address their grievances for peace to reign.
