Worsening Leadership Crisis in the Country Now Evident
The ultimate cost of uncompassionate leadership, as evident in the country today, is turning citizens’ frustration into deep, volatile resentment. It is even more traumatising when the leader presiding over that collapse demonstrates clear incapacity and a lack of compassion.
The government and people of Oyo State, more than 50 days after the abduction of the schoolchildren without any tangible effort toward their rescue, should rightly feel bitter and abandoned.
Since this unfortunate incident, I have spoken publicly about it twice, including appealing directly to the kidnappers to release the children. I also called the Governor twice to assure him of my solidarity, understanding that this issue is not just an Oyo problem but a Nigerian tragedy.
On Friday, July 3, I decided to travel to Ibadan with Prof. Pat Utomi to express solidarity with the Governor, as more than 50 days had elapsed without the rescue of the children and with numerous others still being held captive across the country.
During our two-hour meeting, I shared my experience in addressing insecurity as Governor of Anambra State. I recalled how President Olusegun Obasanjo, and later Presidents Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan, would personally call us several times whenever we faced major security challenges.
But, to my utmost shock, I discovered that, contrary to my assumption that they had been in regular communication over the matter, Governor Seyi Makinde had not received a single call from President Bola Tinubu.
I remember the only case of a school kidnapping during President Goodluck Jonathan’s era - the Chibok girls. It drew local and international attention. Even though the security agencies provided almost daily updates on their efforts, Nigerians and the rest of the world were outraged that it took President Jonathan over two weeks to call the then State chief Executive.
I vividly recall that the current President, Bola Tinubu, led a team of vocal critics who called for President Jonathan’s immediate resignation over the incident, citing his delay in calling the state governor. That call for IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION should actually be the case in this matter.
Today, under President Tinubu, there have been more than 13 school kidnappings, yet the President has found it difficult to call the affected state’s chief executive after more than 50 days (over 7 weeks). This is outrageous. I suspect the same may also have been the case in other school kidnapping incidents.
I cannot imagine any issue more important than the lives of our kidnapped children, their teachers, and the many other Nigerians being held captive across the country. It is now an indisputable fact that governance has completely collapsed under this administration.
The situation reflects a total lack of capacity and compassion, compounded by glaring insensitivity.
Amid such an apparent display of incompetence, the President should either resign or, at the very least, abstain from seeking re-election for the sake of our dear country. This call is patriotic, not political. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
This thing is not hard to grasp.
Alex Onyia’s South East Mathematics Olympiad is a privately organised regional competition for students in the South East. It was won by South East students across the primary, junior, and senior categories...
Primary: Egejurum Onyedikachi(Imo)
Junior: Onwubiko Chimdiebube(Enugu)
Senior: Don Anele Munachimso(Imo)
Samuel Olamide Famiroju of Spring of Life/Fountain of Wisdom in Enugu did not participate in, nor win, the South East Mathematics Olympiad.
Samuel won a completely different competition - the 23rd Annual National Mathematics Competition (ANMC). A nationwide tournament organised by the Nigerian Tulip International Colleges (NTIC) in collaboration with the National Mathematical Centre in 2026.
In that national competition held in Abuja, Samuel Olamide Famiroju emerged 1st, with Onwubiko Chimdiebube from Evergreen Schools, Enugu, coming 2nd, and Mosebiuyeyi Adedeji from Phidel College, Lagos, placing 3rd.
The mix-up arose because Chimdiebube Onwubuiko who came 1st in the Junior category of the South East Mathematics Olympiad also participated in the ANMC and finished 2nd behind Samuel.
Alex Onyia did NOT substitute Samuel’s name with Ebube’s. Samuel simply did not participate in the South East Olympiad.
Lastly, Alex Onyia has never organised a national Olympiad. His initiative is called the Intervention for South East Education for a reason.
You do not expect Alex to leave the winners of his initiative and take the winners of a competition he did not organise to Rome, Italy.
Let’s be factual and be guided.
C’est fini.
