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.
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the outcome of the 2027 general elections will be based on the performance of candidates, not defections.
The party stressed that defections alone do not win elections, noting that credibility, leadership, and results matter more. This was said in response to comments credited to former governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC also dismissed claims that the opposition’s performance in Lagos weakened the party, pointing out that voters later reaffirmed their support by re-electing the APC in the governorship election and subsequent polls.
Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”
Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.
The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.
Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.
