The article by Ochereome Nnanna discusses Bishop Matthew Kukah's critique of Nigerian leadership, particularly focusing on the concept of "accidental leaders." Kukah, a prominent Nigerian cleric, has often highlighted how leaders in Nigeria, especially those from the military era, came to power without the necessary preparation or vision for governance. Nnanna elaborates on Kukah's views by examining the historical context of Nigerian leadership, pointing out that many leaders, including former military rulers like General Sani Abacha, were not groomed for leadership but rather stumbled into power through coups or political maneuvering. The article critiques the lack of ideological grounding and the prevalence of personal ambition over national interest among these leaders. Kukah's observations are used to underscore the need for a deliberate and thoughtful approach to leadership selection and development in Nigeria, emphasizing that accidental leaders often lead to governance failures and national crises.
