A former Minister of Lands and Housing and political leader of Akwa Ibom South Senatorial District, Chief Nduese Essien, has attributed the backwardness and economic woes in Nigeria to governance by older people who naturally may not have both mental capacity and physical ability to address pressing issues.

Fielding questions from journalists on Wednesday, Chief Essien stated that older people have no business playing a focal point in governance but should rather play advisory roles from the side. He decried the level of impunity, corruption and mismanagement of resources by political leaders, stating that it has led to a shortfall in the economy of Nigeria.
