Obasanjo Criticizes the Current Leadership in Nigeria for Its Inadequacies and Failures
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has raised important concerns about leadership issues in Nigeria and Africa. In a recent interview with Kayode Akintemi on News Central Television, he criticized the current president for not having a clear plan when taking office.
Obasanjo noted that the president often makes broad statements without proper research or preparation.
He questioned the wisdom of a Nigerian president entering office without a strategic plan.
He stressed that good leadership requires careful planning and working with knowledgeable people to create effective policies.
He expressed doubts about vague plans, like a “three-point plan,” asking what these points mean and who contributed to them.
Recalling his time as military Head of State, Obasanjo shared how his administration took steps to support neighbouring countries during the struggles against colonialism and apartheid.
This effort showcased Nigeria’s commitment to regional struggles, despite its distance from the conflicts.
Obasanjo pointed out that the country often takes steps forward but then backtracks, which stops progress.
He called for more focus on leadership skills, planning, and smart decision-making to improve Nigeria’s position in the world and tackle current challenges.

Peter Obi makes headlines as he received huge recognition and a welcome in Delta State.
A crowd came out to support the politician and show their support for him ahead of the election next year.

Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mazi Afam Osigwe, speaks on the election and a popular notion that is happening. He shared how some politicians depend on the courts to win their elections instead of the voters (the people).
“A judge once presented a paper called ‘The Judicialisation of the Electoral Process.’ He argued that because of the difficulty of proving non-compliance with the Electoral Act, the courts have gradually and increasingly usurped the role of the voters. I couldn’t agree more.”
“They believe that between polling units and collation centres—especially at night—miracles happen before daybreak. So why vote?” he asked.
