Prof. Angaye Urges Leaders to Prioritize Nigerians' Welfare

In a recent address in Yenagoa, Prof. Angaye, a nonagenarian and former commissioner for planning and budget in Bayelsa State, called on Nigerian political leaders to prioritize the welfare of citizens.

He expressed grave concerns about the moral crisis in governance, highlighting issues such as rising insecurity, hunger, unemployment, and poverty. Prof.

Angaye noted that many Nigerians live in fear of kidnapping and violence, stressing that the government's primary duty is to protect lives and property. He criticized the political elite for appearing disconnected from the daily struggles of ordinary citizens, urging them to show moral courage and speak truthfully about the nation's challenges.

He pointed out that hunger in Nigeria is not a natural disaster but a result of failed policies, despite the country's rich resources. Prof.

Angaye warned against the insensitivity of political leaders amidst widespread suffering and called for a restoration of empathy in leadership to rebuild trust with the populace.
