The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, has appealed to Nigerians to interrogate those who seek to lead them in order to appraise their qualifications for the job.
Obi made this appeal while speaking at the annual conference of the Nigeria Institute of Architecture at the International Conference Centre, Calabar.
He described all those vying for the position of the president as applicants, saying that the interface with Nigerians at different for a represented interviewing sessions where each applicant should tell Nigerians who he was, his family and educational background, as well as his antecedents in public offices.
He said that any person who was unable to do so or whose narration was crooked should not be voted in as it was a mirror of how crooked a leader he would turn out to be.
Obi who took time to go through what he would do, saying that fighting security and uniting Nigerians would be his priority if hired to manage the country.
Describing the task of leading Nigeria at this particular time, Obi said that it should only be for those who are both mentally and physically fit and not those that seek to govern through third parties.
Reeling out many problems confronting Nigeria and using statistics to back them up, Obi said that one major problem he would tackle was the issue of subsidy, which he described as “organized crime.”
Hi Raphael! I love this article. You have provided a comprehensive and clear insight into the current state of Nigeria and the various issues that need to be addressed for it to become a more prosperous nation.
I believe Peter Obi’s appeal is essential: Nigerians should pay close attention to those who seek to lead them so that they do not end up with a leader who is more crooked than the country currently is.
I appreciate the statistics you provided to support your narrative, which helped emphasize the point.
I agree with Obi’s statement about subsidy being an organized crime; it is clear that many people in power are taking advantage of those with less power.
I think the most crucial point that Obi was trying to make is that only mentally and physically fit people should be allowed to lead the country – not those who rely on third parties to do their work for them.
This statement speaks volumes about Nigeria’s current situation and demonstrates why it is so important for citizens to be proactive in selecting their leaders.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this article and am grateful for the knowledge and insight you have provided.
Thank you for sharing your views on this important topic!
