Editor's note: Public affairs analyst, Seun Johnson, writes on the leadership attributes of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and his contributions to the Buhari-led administration, noting that the APC missed an opportunity to present the law professor to Nigerians as their presidential candidate.




For any country to achieve or attain greatness it is largely dependent on people which must first understand their roles as citizens. They must know the implications of every action taken, how positive is the action and what is the drive or motive of that action. We can argue from now till tomorrow that leaders determine what we do but I can say leaders are just there to coordinate our affairs and beliefs.


We can't also forget that the leaders are a crop of individuals who are products of various homes from the society and often society is always a product of individuals. So, a society that desires change must first and foremost change everyone's unhelpful dispositions


Nigerian society is riddled with people with humongous selfish desires and aspirations. This, has, unfortunately, crippled the movement towards the greatness we anticipate. A situation where individuals swim in the ocean of personal gains rather than national gains will lead nowhere. It is tantamount to efforts in futility. Since independence, we have had strings of chances of putting our country on the path of development but few powerful individuals, have had their grip on the nation. They saw no need to sacrifice or bury their evil desires for national gains.
