ABUJA — The Bishop of the Anglican Diocese on the Niger, the Rt. Rev. Dr. Owen Nwokolo, has blamed Nigeria’s persistent leadership crisis on entrenched corruption rather than the government of the day, declaring ahead of the 2027 general elections that he expects ‘nothing wonderful’ from the current administration.
With preparations for the next general elections gradually gathering momentum, Nwokolo said Nigerians should not assume that another change of government would automatically produce better leadership.
According to him, the country’s recurring problems stem from corruption, nepotism and a leadership culture that has endured across successive administrations.
Nwokolo made the remarks during an interview where he also spoke on insecurity, state police, Christian marriage, infant baptism and the impact of his 15 years as bishop.
