Nigerians don’t value good leaders until they leave office - Oshiomhole praises Goodluck

 Adams Oshiomhole, the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), commended former President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday for leaving excellent legacies in the country Nigeria.

Oshiomhole stated during the one-year memorial lecture honoring the lt. Captain Hosa Okunbo in Abuja that Nigerians do not recognize competent leaders until they leave office through death or resignation/ end of tenure.

The ex-Edo State governor acknowledged that he battled Jonathan out of office because of political disputes.

Many Nigerians would be surprised by Oshiomhole's statement because he was one of Jonathan's harshest opponents, and he continued to bash the former president even after he left office in 2015.

Jonathan left legacies even if I had grounds to argue because it is politics," he remarked on Saturday. There is no successor who can afford to accomplish less than you have done.
