Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party for 2023, has attacked the existing government and called on it to stop offering hollow platitudes and instead offer real solutions to Nigeria’s well-known issues.
Obi noted that all Nigerians are aware of the country’s problems, which include poverty, insecurity, low-quality education, high infant mortality, corruption, unemployment, and inadequate infrastructure and healthcare, in a post on his X handle on Friday.
Obi expressed his shock at hearing politicians minimise these challenges by claiming that comparable difficulties are faced by other nations.

In times of crisis, he argued, real leaders should provide direction, counsel, and comfort. As per Obi, Nigeria needs a thorough action plan that is customised to its unique circumstances instead of making generic analogies that downplay the gravity of the country’s problems.
Obi stated, “The problems facing Nigeria are well-known to all Nigerians.
“We are the poverty capital of the world, among the most insecure people on earth, among the hungriest, have poor education quality and the highest number of out-of-school children, high infant mortality, corruption, unemployment, the highest income gap between the poor and the rich, high corruption perception index, infrastructure and healthcare challenges, and more.
“It is disheartening to hear those in charge, who were hired to address our problems, make statements like ‘we are not the only ones struggling with poverty and hunger.’

“Instead of merely acknowledging that other countries face similar challenges, we need to hear a thorough plan of action to tackle our unique struggles.
“We require concrete solutions and a clear vision to address these issues, not comparisons that downplay our circumstances.
“I urge those in leadership positions to offer tangible solutions, not mere reminders that others face similar challenges.
“We need a comprehensive approach to tackle our specific challenges, not generalizations that dismiss our experiences. A true leader provides direction, guidance, solutions, and reassurance in times of crisis.
“This is the hallmark of visionary leadership and a trait of nations that are making progress and advancing their development. They don’t simply state the obvious but offer a roadmap for overcoming obstacles.

“Just like a pilot who doesn’t just announce turbulence, they assure passengers that they will do everything possible to ensure a safe journey.
“Only then can we begin to trust that our country is in capable hands, working towards a brighter future for all Nigerians,” he added.
