Nigeria just clocked 56 years recently; what are your reflections on the journey so far and the state of the nation?

My reflections are that I don’t think we are where we should be. The leadership from independence couldn’t get their bearing and unfortunately, many people don’t know this – if Azikiwe had yielded to the quest of Awolowo, we would not have been where we are today. When Zik contested the 1959 elections, he didn’t win, Awolowo didn’t win also and the NPC didn’t win; Awolowo then approached Azikiwe and asked him will you become Prime Minister and he refused to team up with Awolowo. The delegates of the region at that time who believe that they would not be relevant again dissuaded and teamed up with the NPC and unfortunately, I will say, because Azikiwe should have known better, he was compromised and offered the post of Governor-general. This is the issue of the country.
