How do we get out of the situation at the moment, he asked.<\/p>\n<p>Asking if Nigerians still trust their government, he stated, The main critical component of governance is trust, do Nigerians trust their government, the answer is no.<\/p>\n<p>The trust we voted this government for was because it promised us it will solve our problems, but when they get there they are telling us what they met there.<\/p>\n<p>Obi suggested that the country needs to do away with nepotism stating that it is part of the biggest problem of the current administration.<\/p>\n<p>He added that competence have to be valued above region of origin<\/p>\n<p>When you have leaders who do things on merit, the agitation we have in the country today will end.
