Nigerian activist lawyer, Madubuachi Idam has said President Joe Biden of the United States, US, pulled out of the presidential race due to his poor performance and ailing health.

Idam said Nigerian politicians would never emulate such a move because they downplay competence.

In a chat with DAILY POST, the activist lawyer noted that Nigerians should consider the soundness of mind and body as a factor in electing a leader.

Idam said Nigerian politicians would never emulate such a move because they downplay competence.

In a chat with DAILY POST, the activist lawyer noted that Nigerians should consider the soundness of mind and body as a factor in electing a leader.

According to Idam: “Joe Biden has stepped aside ( not willingly) from his second presidential bid, chiefly because of his poor performance at the presidential debate and his ailing health. Politicians in Nigeria bluntly snub debate and not even a head roll. In fact, most often than not, those who snubed debates or performed poorly during debates get elected afterwards.

“Competence is not a factor in Nigerian politics, but money is. Yet, we all clamour every day for change but recycle incompetent and unhealthy leaders by our own votes and expect them to effectively pilot the affairs of over 250 million people.

“Leadership is not a gamble, no economy is ever grown without sound policies deliberately and consciously made with an intention to achieve set results.

“The earlier Nigerian people begin to consider the soundness of mind and body as a factor in electing a leader, the sooner we start solving some of our leadership problems.”(DAILY POST)
