The Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Umar Gali Na’abba has said that governors have been the country’s issue since 1999.

Na’abba made the allegation when he hosted a delegation of the Na’abba Youth Organization.

According to him, Nigerians were now running from politics because governors have pocketed political parties and now decide who would contest for positions in elections.

He said that the governors’ action had crippled the country’s democracy.

“Since 1999 governors have been the problem of the country. They contributed to the death of democracy within the political parties.

“And when there are no elections within the parties, then incompetent leaders will emerge and that will affect the whole political system and the country’s development too.

“The governors have caused all these. They will hardly hold primaries. Rather they will ask you to go for consensus; which is wrong.

“If we really want to see changes in the country, we must change our democracy and give equal chances to all. Give chances for elections within parties so that the masses and the rich will have roles to play.

“Only that can bring changes. Not what they (governors) are doing. That will not lead us anywhere. Rather it will deteriorate the situation of the country,” Na’abaa said.

He acknowledged that the youths have lost confidence in politicians.
