Atiku Warns Young Governors Are Struggling Without Strong Mentorship
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticised the performance of several young state governors, describing them as “failing woefully” due to lack of leadership experience. Speaking on a recent broadcast, he argued that without strong federal guidance, many of these governors struggle to deliver effective governance. Atiku highlighted a similar challenge during Goodluck Jonathan’s presidency, noting that inexperience at the top can trickle down and hamper state-level progress. He urged the political establishment to invest in mentorship and political tutelage, stressing that Nigeria’s future depends on a balance between youthful energy and seasoned leadership. Atiku’s comments add fresh momentum to the ongoing debate over youth representation and expertise in the country’s political landscape.
