The Igbo Leaders of
Thought, an association of prominent Igbo personalities led by foremost
constitutional lawyer, Prof. Ben Nwabueze, has said that corruption is not
Nigeria’s primary problem. The Igbo leaders stressed that while President Muhammadu
Buhari engages in the fight against corruption, he should equally address other
critical problems, particularly what they described as the ‘Nigerian question’
– the dysfunctional federal system practiced in the country.
Nwabueze
made the group’s feelings known after an extensive meeting in Enugu.
The
Igbo Leaders of Thought, comprising mostly elder statesmen, stressed that other
vital issues like poverty, illiteracy and security should not be neglected
because of the campaign against corruption.
