A political coalition known as the Big Tent has said that the country is collapsing under the weight of poverty, insecurity, institutional decay, and elite failure.
Convener of The Big Tent, Pat Utomi, described the situation as an “existential crisis requiring urgent civic action and responsible leadership.”
Utomi said: that Nigeria is a beacon for African progress, leading a flock of nations toward prosperity.
He identified poverty as the most visible sign of leadership failure, saying that 75 per cent of rural Nigerians now live in chronic poverty.
