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
I always wonder why successful businessmen would want to leave their businesses and venture into politics.
I remember around 2015 when Uche Ogah of Abia State, the CEO of Master Energy, the company behind Master Noodles, Master Oil, and all that wanted to contest for Governor of Abia State. He was already a very wealthy man. It was obvious he wasn’t going to win, but I found it hard to understand why him and people around him couldn’t see that.
It was also during a period when the ruling party was always using the EFCC to intimidate and cripple opposition figures. I remember discussing it with my dad and asking him why nobody was advising Uche Ogah to leave politics alone and focus on his business. I told my dad that if he kept building his business, he could become the next Dangote.
My dad then took out his phone, sent him a message communicating those concerns, and Uche Ogah replied, thanking him and all. He still went ahead to contest that election and the one after it.
Since then, Master Energy has continued to struggle. Most of its filling stations across the country are now abandoned.
Which brings me to Peter Obi. It is obvious he wasn’t a poor man before politics, and he has consistently said so himself. One thing I find intriguing is that after contesting for the presidency, he still continued his philanthropy almost immediately after the election, sustained it for three years, and is now heading straight into another election cycle.
You have to appreciate the level of wealth someone must have to keep doing that over and over again.
This goes without saying that if there were any atom of corruption tied to his money, he would not be walking around a free man today.
Una see say these people dey mad!
Hire more sanitation workers, No!
buy more garbage trucks, No!
build more landfills and incinerators, No!
But the couldn’t hesitate to jump straight to enforcement!
The waste in my house has been piling up for months, PSP hasn’t come to pick it up and I’ve never missed a payment infact I’ve paid for a full year ahead. I live in Lekki o mind you, if they aren’t coming to pick up the thrash in Lekki for months it’s not far fetched to assume they haven’t picked up the dirt in Abule Egba in years, but sanitation police is the solution the army of halfwits in Alausa can think of!
Fucking idiots!
Our Muslim communities are in danger.
We must do everything we can to keep them out of harms way.
Relocate them ASAP to safer countries. Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Libya, Syria, Egypt.
Their safety is paramount 🙏

Thugs don’t have monopoly to madness. Social media is not a law court too
We must be hard on election thuggery.
