A former Edo State Governorship aspirant, Kenneth Imasuagbon, has said Nigeria is losing global respect due to the problem of insecurity and the poor state of its economy.
In a statement by Imasuagbon on Saturday in Benin, the Edo State capital, the politician said the country’s inability to solve its problems is becoming a national embarrassment.
He said, “The world is laughing at us and we are losing global respect. Foreign news headlines mock our pains. We are now seen as a country of chaos, a land where life has little value,” he said.
He noted that the government’s inability to tackle insecurity is preventing investors from coming into the country, which has further compounded the problems of unemployment and poverty.
He added, “This crisis is driving investors away. People don’t put money where they can be killed. The result is joblessness, poverty, and economic collapse. Every gunshot fired by a bandit kills not just a person but also a business idea,” he said.
The educationist said that as a patriotic Nigerian, he cannot stay silent while the country drifts further into darkness.
“At 59, I should be talking about building legacies. But how can we build when nothing is working? Roads are unsafe, schools are closing down, and farmers are scared to go to their fields. What kind of country is this?” he queried.
He urged the government to act quickly and decisively in tackling the challenges facing the nation.
He added, “We need leaders who care, not ones who give excuses, not leaders who are only concerned about elections.
“Nigerians are dying, businesses are collapsing, hope is dying. President Tinubu must wake up. This is not what we voted for.
“Citizens must remain united and demand accountability. We must not allow silence to destroy us. If leaders fail, the people must rise. This is our country. We must fight to make it better.”
