Prof. Patrick Utomi, a former Presidential Candidate of the Social Democratic Mega Party (SDMP), in an interview on Sunday has urged Nigerian politicians to imbibe the commitment and service of late Nelson Mandela.
“Our politicians are obsessed with themselves rather than thinking of the people. If commitment, service to all and the rules are clear, they will be more effective.’’
“Mandela lived a life that was not about him, he lived the life of the people, and it was about service. He was the ultimate paradox.
“He did not think about himself because he was there for his people and not himself,” he said.
According to him, Nigerian leaders will be more effective when they abide by the theory of service to all, instead of thinking about their individual interests.
“What we need is transformational leaders who will take this country to its zenith. It takes discipline to be self-master,’’ he stressed.
