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.
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has expressed confidence that the northern region will support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the next election.
According to Matawalle, the administration has delivered major infrastructure projects and development initiatives across the region.
“For us in the North, our votes for the APC and President Tinubu will show clearly that we appreciate what he’s doing for the region.”
He added “If you see the dualisation of the Abuja–Kaduna, Zaria–Sokoto, and Ilela–Badagry expressways, you will agree with me that the North is experiencing key projects it never had in the past, even when a northerner was president.”
It was reported and revealed by the National Coordinator of the Obi Movement that an attack occurred at the movement against Peter Obi in Edo State.
He stated that the armed people had guns and shot at Peter Obi and his members of the movement.
“At the formal declaration of Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress, armed individuals followed us from the ADC Secretariat to the residence of Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
They shot at the gate and destroyed several vehicles in what appears to be a survived assassination attempt on our lives. Democracy is in danger.”
