Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra State and a respected Nigerian political figure, recently expressed his pride and optimism over the election of Nigerian-born Kemi Badenoch as the leader of the United Kingdom’s Conservative Party.

Obi praised Badenoch’s rise as an inspiring moment for Nigerians, especially during a time when many are questioning their nation’s future and potential.

Badenoch’s success, he noted, stands as proof of the global influence and potential that Nigerian and African youth hold.

Obi believes that her journey serves as a wake-up call to Nigeria, a nation where young, capable leaders are often overshadowed by older, less progressive figures.

Kemi Badenoch, born Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke in London to Nigerian parents, has risen through the ranks of British politics with a reputation for her principles and a strong stance on diversity and opportunity.

Known for her straightforward approach, she has served in various ministerial roles before this historic election.

Her journey has been an inspiration, demonstrating that people from different cultural backgrounds can not only participate in but lead in countries beyond their birthplace.

For Obi and many Nigerians, Badenoch’s success shines a light on the importance of diversity and shows what can be achieved when barriers are broken and talent is valued over connections or lineage.

Reflecting on this milestone, Obi called on Nigeria to adopt a similar mindset by rejecting tribalism, religious bias, and the “my turn” syndrome that he says often hampers true progress.

Instead, he urges Nigerians to embrace leaders based on their abilities, ideas, and readiness to address the country’s challenges.

He emphasized that Nigeria could transform itself by valuing leaders who demonstrate integrity and a forward-thinking approach rather than clinging to outdated political traditions.

In his message, Obi congratulated Badenoch for her inspiring achievement, seeing it as a powerful motivator for young Nigerians.

He also urged citizens to take this moment as an opportunity to push for change within the country’s leadership structure.

Nigerian singer Charly Boy has shared his thoughts on the recent political move by the political party African Democratic Congress (ADC).

It can be noted that the party is gearing up to challenge President Tinubu’s position in the 2027 elections.

The singer took to social media to express his thoughts on the move and questioned who the party is truly fighting for.

“Are they fighting for you, or fighting to sit where their enemies used to sit? Are they shouting ‘enough is enough’ because they’ve changed… or because they’re no longer the ones benefitting?”

“We don’t just need new names. We need new values, new visions, and people with the guts to live by them. 2027 is not about revenge. It’s about rescue.”

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, believes that despite his shortcomings, former President Muhammadu Buhari performed better than the current administration under President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi admitted Buhari didn’t achieve everything he set out to do, but insisted that things were still better under his leadership compared to now. “Buhari will be the first to tell you he didn’t accomplish all his plans, but by every standard, his government outperformed this one,” Amaechi said.

The former Rivers State governor pointed to areas like security and the independence of institutions, especially the electoral commission, as key areas where Buhari did better. “In terms of security, Buhari placed more focus there. When it comes to the independence of INEC, there was far more freedom under Buhari than we’re seeing now,” he added.

Amaechi also criticised the current state of politics, claiming that new political parties can’t even get registered because of interference from government officials. He made it clear that his comments are not personal, saying he would have been the first to commend President Tinubu if things were going well.

Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi has maintained that Nigeria’s next president should come from the South. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi stressed that while power should shift to the South, competence and character must be the key factors in choosing leaders, not just regional sentiment.

He pointed out that the coming elections won’t just be about political parties but will be a fight between everyday Nigerians and the political class. In his words, “Nigeria belongs to everyone. We can’t keep running a system where one region holds all the power and others are sidelined. There are capable leaders in the South. It’s time to restore balance and deliver real results.”

Amaechi added that the elections should not be based on blind party loyalty, saying, “This is about Nigerians taking a stand against the political elite. If we truly want change, now is the time to act.” He believes the South is prepared to take the lead, promising a platform that gives every Nigerian a voice and renewed hope.
