Nigeria, like the rest of the world, in varying degrees, is in deep crisis. While I concede to others who advocate and attribute other causes such as restructuring and the constitution to our present situation, I feel strongly persuaded that our problem is that of leadership: Leadership that would galvanize our people into a nation; Leadership of a new age; of a completely new era. As I think of the next Nigerian leader; the next Nigerian President, I am not thinking of an ethnic leader. I strongly recommend that our search for the Nigerian leader of our dream and manifest destiny should, this time, be expansive. As I ruminate on the search for the next Nigerian leader, a name is constantly on my mind.
