Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), has said many Nigerians, especially those from the South-East, have lost hope in governance.



She disclosed this on Friday while urging Alex Otti, the Abia State governor-elect, to run a clean and transparent government.



Okonjo-Iweala also insisted the incoming government should focus on “disruptive strategies rather than traditional operational systems.”



She gave the charge in a speech she presented virtually at the inauguration of the 100-member 2023 Abia Transition Council held in Aba, Abia’s economic hub.



She said, “I told the governor-elect that everything we will do would depend on this governance. Nigerians, especially from that side of the South-East, have lost faith in governance.



“They no longer believe the government can provide anything for them. They provide for themselves boreholes, electricity and every other thing for themselves. Although that is entrepreneurial, on the other hand, that is not how to run the place.”



The WTO Director General also urged Abia citizens abroad, who have the capacity to assist in recovering the State and upgrade development, to return and help out.



She however expressed hope that through the governor-elect, “there is a unique chance to set Abia on the right side of development and modernisation through disruptive digital technology.”

They've been voting the likes of OUK, Ikpeazu and Obi.

Why won't they be disillusioned?

Always betting on the wrong horse at the same time being vocal irritants.

Respectfully ma, you need to chill out and stop being rebellious.

Haven't you lost hope in this country

She is right to limit it to SE. When you elect leaders because of ordinary kerosene then you get a kerosene Governor. The SE needs great leaders but will Igbo people vote to give such leaders the opportunity to win elections?
The Alex Otti has been talking upandan and I hope he promises so much and match it with real action.

If these Igbo leaders succeed, we will have less Igbo fleeing in droves to other parts of Nigeria and the globe for opportunities and jobs (even menial jobs like hawking in traffic and demeaning begging and crimes) or getting into trouble by putting their mouth in the local and political affairs of their hosts.
I completely support her charge to Igbo leaders.

Especially in the hands of Hope Uzodinma.

You can't vote in Imo State, Rivers State, and Ebonyi State and get the winner declared by INEC.
