Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility

This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.

The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.

Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.

During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.

At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.

I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO

He has his flaws. And I obviously don't know much about his private life. But with what I have seen so far, this man right here should be the role model for all Nigerian youths.

The humility he has, even after accumulating all this wealth is the sort that is rarely found in our current society.

Integrity ✔️
Empathy ✔️
Humility ✔️

He embodies all the qualities that an average Nigerian politician will never have.

2027, I will vote him again. His principles strongly align with mine. If I don't vote him, I will not have peace of mind. If he gets only one vote, then it will definitely be mine.

Bruv, this your criticism sounds smart o, but g-darn it!

You're missing the context of @PeterObi's answer by a few light years like this.

Here's why:

1. Obi was not saying Nigeria's electricity problem is a secret.

Everybody knows the broad issues (even our resident microphone-licking imbeciiile): You know... available generation is far below installed capacity, gas supply is unreliable, equipment is old, transmission is weak, DisCos are financially broken, collections are poor, debts pile up, contracts are abused, maintenance culture is almost dead, etc, etc.

So when you say, "He should have said fix gas, fix DisCos, fix maintenance, diversify into solar, hydro and wind,"

My question is: is that really the deep plan you were waiting for??? Like for real???

Those are the obvious headings ns. They are DEFINITELY not the hard part. They are the textbook - talk is cheap 101 examples na 😫

The hard part is EXECUTION and EXECUTION is powered by POLITICAL WILL, DILLIGENCE & COMMITMENT as EXEMPLIFIED by WHERE YOU HANDLED PUBLIC OFFICE LAST!

In that interview, Obi said Nigeria can generate, transmit and distribute at least 10,000MW within four years.

Rufai pressed him for details, and Obi pointed to what countries like Egypt, India and Indonesia have done.

That is not evasion. Obi was making a feasibility argument: serious countries have added far more, so Nigeria should not treat 10,000MW like rocket science. It very clearly is not - if you have committed, non-wasteful, patriotic managers of resources in power.

The point was not "trust me, bro."

The point was: Nigeria's problem is not "quantum mechanics" or some esoteric physics equation. It is governance - basic governance.

To make existing infrastructure work properly, you need to enter government, and DILIGENTLY & COMMITEDLY follow up technocrats who will open the books, audit the plants, gas agreements, DisCo finances and contracts, then identify who is owed, who is failing, who is defaulting, and who must face consequences, etc, etc...

The problem is not "knowing what to do" - the problem is do you have the political will to resist corruption, cut waste and redirect resources, and the diligence and the commitment to execute all these very easy to reel off plans.

And this is why Obi kept returning to management, prudence and accountability.

Obi kept saying: I know how to manage public resources, cut waste, enforce discipline, and get results. Go and check my records.

So no, Obi did not need to turn a live interview into a fake engineering seminar. The real issue is not whether the problem can be described. The real issue is whether the person in charge has the discipline to diagnose it properly, manage the money, enforce contracts, punish failure, and deliver results.

That was the substance of Obi's answer.

This is supposed to be management 101 and basic o but it's OK.

It's Obi and all criticism is welcome.😎

We don’t appreciate Daddy G.O Adeboye enough tbh. Kerosene is N2,400. Gas is 2,400. If not for his prayers and talk with God over coffee, we would be buying them at N8,500 by now.

Thank you, Daddy.

I find it really weird that all my life in Church i was told that when you pray you also take actions
If you pray to pass you also have to read
If you pray to get rich you also have to work
But somehow we are told to pray for Nigeria and not hold our leaders accountable

[Ocular Priest 🎱 @KaizenMindset_3]

You can’t criticise Peter Obi without sounding dvmb.

Peter Obi doesn't like struggling, preferring 'Food is Ready' politics - Wike.

But Peter Obi rejected an assured VP ticket in PDP and chose to join a mushroom party to contest the 2023 elections alongside established parties like PDP and APC with his money.

He rejected possible ADC VP ticket and joined the NDC a new party to fight Tinubu and Atiku again 

𝗜 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗢𝗯𝗶’𝘀 2023 𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆, 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀 Datti 𝗕𝗮𝗯𝗮-𝗔𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗱.

But he lost his polling unit.

Peter Obi for me is just another Buhari...
- Sola Kuti.
But Buhari was not a billionaire; Buhari was never Chairman of banks or businesses.

Peter Obi runs away from fight but he has been a bone in the throat of the APC since 2022 without backing down.

[Martins Detu @MartinsDetu]

The rise of Mega churches in Nigeria brought in a very dangerous ideology to Nigerian Christians, which is prioritizing Individualism rather than Collectivism.
We see it in the doctrines and sermons being put forward and type of prayers we pray.

You see people pray things like:
"This government will favour me and my family."

"Many are in the mortuary, hospital, Kidnapped, but we're hale and hearty."

"When others are saying there's casting down, we'll be saying there's a lifting up" and many other prayer points.

Ideologies like this strip the community of achieving a common goal or fighting for a collective interests.
That's one reason calling out the government is somewhat difficult. Because if you're in a comfortable postion in life, you'll be more reluctant to join any struggle movement.
This is something we need to break out from this 2026.

A society grows when men plants trees on which they know they'll not sit on. This of the future generations and fight for their sake.
