The group listed   ten criteria that should guide Nigerians in supporting anyone seeking office. Addressing a press conference in Lagos, Fasehun, who is the protem chairman of  the group ‘Civil Society Movement for   Credible Leadership’ said some eminent Nigerians and a rainbow of civil society groups who desire the emergence of a credible   leader for the country, have come togther to form the organisation. Reviewing the last five years of democratic rule in the country, he said: “Five years of Olusegun Obasanjo have shown that even   the most benevolent dictator is far from being good enough. If truth be told, experience shows that the recycling of de-uniformed   soldiers in power leaves the country at the mercy of their macho and authoritarian outlook to statesmanship and politics.  By the   end of this year, Nigeria will have less than two years to grapple with the herculean decision of a new leader for this country.   Hence, we strongly feel that it is not too early now to begin to determine the quality and personality of leadership that will rule   our land. ” Fasehun explained that the objective of the group amongst other things would be to ensure: “the enthronement of freedom,   peace, justice and equity in governance in Nigeria; support any policy promoting unity and stability of the federal republic of   Nigeria; support the present democratic experience in the federal republic of Nigeria.”  The group listed ten criteria for anyone seeking leadership of the country to include: “A leadership that must be well respected   and acceptable to the international community and be such as to win for Nigeria international sympathy for her social, economic   and political regeneration; be one whose record of public service must be seen to have been impeccable, as our national   experience has shown that our leaders are either light-fingered or down-right dictatorial or both".   Home  |  Cover Stories  |  National Newsreel  |  Politics  |  Business  |  Sports  |  World  | Contact  | Advert Rates © 1998- 2004.
