Wukari (Taraba) March 6, 2021 Chief David Kente, an APC chieftain in Taraba, on Thursday in Wukari, Taraba, blamed Nigerian elites for the insecurity and tension in the country.
Kente, a Commissioner on the Board of the North East Development Commission (NEDC), made the charge while interacting with newsmen.
“Leaders of thought and opinion moulders in positions of authority have sacrificed national interests to promote selfish interests.
“They promote religious, ethnic, regional and political divisions to suit their purposes,’’ he said.
He argued that when merit, justice, equity and fairness were relegated to the background and mediocrity was given prominence, people were bound to react in a way that would affect the growth of the society.
