Prof. Pat Utomi
Speaking at a breakfast meeting organised by the Redeemed Christian
Church of God (RCCG), Victory Chapel, Province 21, in the Magodo area
of Lagos, renowned management expert, Prof. Pat Utomi, says
Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo, whom he described as his friend, knows
that President Muhammadu Buhari is ruling the country with 'a medieval mindset.'
According to The Sun, Prof. Utomi who revealed that the president was not getting the best because of his idea of 'exclusion rather than inclusion', said, "The
problem with Buhari’s administration is his medieval mindset. He
excludes rather than includes. So, he does not get the best idea."
"He is insular. I don’t push him in this conversation but I am
sure that if I put my friend, the vice president under pressure, he will
admit what I am saying. Because of their medieval mindset, they have
created a country that is more divided than they met it. And that is a
problem for leadership that is marching towards progress."
When asked how long Nigerians might wait for the change they voted for, he said: "Everything is based on context. Take a look at the mismanagement of this fuel thing; the whole idea is nonsensical.
"It doesn’t have to go on like this; you are punishing Nigerian
people unnecessarily. The sufferings that Nigerians have endured in the
last couple of weeks over this petrol crisis have reduced productivity.
If you throw it open to people across the world to bring petrol to
Nigeria and sell at any price, you will discover that within a year, the
price of petrol will be lower than the government’s fixed price today.
"You (Buhari) set up a committee called transition committee.
It suggested that you deregulate the whole thing about crude oil, but
no, you won’t. Your ideas go back 30 years and they are irrelevant to
this world. Open up your mind and listen to people and you can make
progress. To lead is to serve.
"To lead, you must be knowledgeable. People don’t follow
somebody who doesn’t know where he is going. Otherwise, you fall into a
ditch," Utomi said.
