Stop Milking Nigeria Like Cow, Itll Soon Dry, Obi Onitsha Warns Politicians

The Obi of Onitsha, His Royal Majesty Nnaemeka Alfred Achebe, has taken a swipe at Nigerias political class, urging those in leadership positions to prioritize public interest over personal and individualistic interests if Nigeria is to grow beyond its current state.

In a goodwill message yesterday in Abuja during the public presentation of the book Bold Leap authored by Senator Chris Anyanwu, the Obi warned that with the increasing level of corruption in the countryakin to milking a cowNigeria would soon dry up if the current corrupt practices are not stopped.

The royal highness lamented the insincerity displayed by the political class towards accountability and good governance, likening such behavior to continually milking a cow without replenishing or sustaining it.

Bold Leap, which was launched before a distinguished gathering of Nigerians, including former Presidents, ex-Presidents of the Senate, past and present Senators, and former Governors, is a 600-page autobiography divided into three parts and 19 chapters.
