2027: Obi said he only needed two years to improve Nigeria

The presidential candidate of the Labor Party in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has been owed to instill national stability, stating that if given a mandate in 2027, he will bring order and direction to Nigeria within two years.

Speaking during the direct session at X Spaces Sunday night, Obi urged Nigerian leaders to stop governing from a distance and responsible for the challenges at home. “I will bring stability in Nigeria in two years. Nigerian leaders must sit in Nigeria and improve Nigeria,” he said.

His statement emerged amid increasing concerns about the deteriorating state security situation, increasing poverty, and increasing discretion between the political elite and the reality of the Nigerians everyday.

Obi, the former Governor of the State Anambra, known for his economical style, said that his government would focus on direct and measurable actions.

“Nigeria fought with poverty, insecurity, and despair. We need leaders who are present, who understand the urgency, and who are willing to roll their clothes and work from within, not from the comfort of foreign trips,” he said, in a hidden criticism of the Tinubu Bola President who reported foreign visits abroad to St. Lucia.

Obi emphasized that his vision of leadership was one of the accountability, presence, and courage. “You cannot manage countries like Nigeria through press releases or from private jet. We must be on the ground, see what people see, feel what they feel, and act quickly.”

He added that the government crisis in Nigeria was not due to lack of resources but lack of will and direction. “Stability comes when people feel safe, heard, and full of hope. That comes when the government listens, acts firmly, and leads by setting an example.”

Promising the leadership style based on transparency and results, Obi concluded: “In two years, the Nigerians will feel change, not from the slogan, but from their life experience. That is the type of leadership that I offer. And it starts with living at home to improve the house.”
