[Babatunde Gbadamosi @BOGbadams]

Many Lagosians are wondering why I would accept the nomination to be a Deputy Governorship candidate to a younger Gubernatorial candidate in Gbadebo P Rhodes-Vivour. Many think I am more experienced, mature, etc, and should therefore be the candidate and Gbadebo the deputy.

I have decided to explain this only once.

For decades, those in the corridors of power have repeated the sentence "the youths are the leaders of tomorrow", but have refused, consistently, to leave the scene.

That sentence "the youths are the leaders of tomorrow", has in fact, been a big fat lie the whole time. Let me explain.

In the 1950s, the colonialists carried out an experiment, allowing regional self-rule in Nigeria. Western Nigeria was led by the Action Group, a party led by Obafemi Awolowo, who was in his early 40s.

Many of his colleagues were in their 30s, and some were even in their 20s, like Anthony Enahoro, who demanded independence for Nigeria on the floor of parliament at the grand old age of 23!

That government of mostly young men was easily the most impactful government in Africa, if not the world, at that time.

Moving into the 60s, and many of these men had moved into their 50s, and become so used to the trappings of power, that they forgot that they were in power to serve the people, and not themselves.

A crisis erupted, which eventually resulted in a military coup, led by YOUNG soldiers in their 20s.

A counter coup was to follow 6 months later, led again by young soldiers in their 20s and 30s.

The two governments that arose out of the second coup (another coup happened in 1976), were again, the most impactful governments in Africa, with their influence stretching as far as Britain and South Africa.

General Olusegun Obasanjo (as he then was) was to hand over to much older civilians in 1979, and they promptly began to destroy the vibrant nation he and his colleagues had built, through their selfish, gratuitous politicking.

Again, another coup, and yet another, and Babangida took over, in his 40s, completing projects abandoned by the older civilians, like the 3rd Mainland Bridge and the Shiroro dam.

Coming to Lagos State, Mobolaji Johnson was appointed founding governor at the grand old age of 31, and decided to appoint men like Chiefs Adeniran Ogunsanya, S L Edu and Ganiyu Olawale Dawodu, all in their 50s, into his cabinet.

Again, that government, led by a much YOUNGER man, was probably the most impactful Lagos State has seen since, besides the government of the late Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande.

I am proud to say that I was somewhat instrumental in ensuring that Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour got the Labour Party ticket in 2022, partly because he is a younger man, and also because of the unique skill set he brought to the table, which I still consider to be the best fit for Lagos State right now, following the 27 years of blight, wrought by the greedy, incompetent and wicked Tinubu criminal gang.

I refuse to join those who repeatedly lied to my generation that "the youths are the leaders of tomorrow", when in fact, they led us in their youth!

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour is in his early forties - a perfect time when the energy of youth meets the wisdom of experience. The time for the youths to lead is NOW, not tomorrow, and we need to revert back to what we did before, to get the results we desire for our children and our children's children.

If you want to Make Èkó Great Again, and build a better Lagos than the one we have all endured for the last 27 years, please join Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour and I, and help us to chase away the locusts that want to feed on your children's future, while telling you to your face that THEIR youths will be your leaders tomorrow.

Why This Septuagenarian Is Investing in Peter Obi’s Presidency

At 74, I have lived long enough to know the difference between politics as entertainment and politics as a matter of national survival.

I have watched Nigeria move from promise to disappointment, from abundance to scarcity, from hope to cynicism. I have seen governments come and go, heard magnificent campaign promises, watched politicians reinvent themselves at election time, and witnessed citizens repeatedly vote for the same failed political formula while expecting a different outcome.

That is why, as a septuagenarian, my support for Peter Obi's presidency is not an emotional investment. It is an investment in the possibility that Nigeria can still change the trajectory of its political leadership.

I am not investing in a messiah. Nigeria does not need one.

I am investing in competence, prudence, accountability, human capital and a different philosophy of governance.

I Have Lived Long Enough to Know That Time Matters

At my age, I cannot afford the luxury of pretending that Nigeria has unlimited time.

The young can perhaps afford another decade of experimentation with incompetent leadership. My generation cannot. We have already spent decades watching Nigeria squander opportunities that other countries seized.

We have seen countries that were behind us economically overtake us. We have watched nations without our oil, population, arable land and enormous human resources build functioning economies.

The question, therefore, is no longer whether Nigeria has potential.

The question is why we have consistently failed to convert that potential into prosperity.

For me, one major answer is leadership.

Why Obi?

My attraction to Peter Obi is fundamentally about his apparent understanding that government is not a theatre for political grandeur; it is an instrument for improving the lives of citizens.

His current campaign agenda places emphasis on education, healthcare, agriculture, energy, security, human capital development, production and institutional reform. He has also spoken repeatedly about reducing the cost of governance and insisting that public resources produce measurable value.

Those are not glamorous promises.

They are, however, the boring fundamentals upon which serious nations are built.

And after decades of watching Nigeria chase political spectacle while neglecting fundamentals, I have become particularly interested in the boring stuff.

Schools. Hospitals. Electricity. Roads. Agriculture. Manufacturing. Security. Jobs. Institutions.

That is where national development actually happens.

I Am Investing in a Philosophy, Not a Personality

Peter Obi is not infallible. I do not subscribe to the idea that because I support a politician, I must defend everything he says or does.

That is precisely the mentality Nigeria must escape.

I will support Obi where I believe he is right, question him where I believe he is wrong and demand accountability if he eventually occupies Aso Rock.

My support is therefore not a blank cheque.

It is a conditional investment.

The condition is simple:

«Give Nigerians government that works, and Nigerians will judge you by the results.»

Obi has also argued that four years should be sufficient for a serious leader to demonstrate whether his administration is capable of changing the country's direction.

I find that proposition particularly compelling.

Nigeria does not need another administration asking for eight years before Nigerians can see results.

We have waited long enough.

The Greatest Investment Must Be in Nigerians

And a president who understands that public resources belong to the people can begin restoring something Nigeria desperately needs:

trust.

My Septuagenarian Investment

So why is this septuagenarian investing in Peter Obi's presidency?

Because after 74 years, I have learned that the most expensive thing a nation can lose is not money.

It is time.

There was never a coalition. It was an attempt to hoodwink Peter Obi to accept the VP position so that Atiku can ride on his popularity to Aso rock.

“I urge fellow politicians and leaders to move around Nigeria and feel the pain, hunger and suffering of our people.”

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

I have consistently continued to respectfully appeal to those in office today to prioritise reconstruction and maintenance of existing roads and other infrastructure over commencing new ones.

I left someone in Onitsha on Saturday night to take the first bus to Lagos on Sunday morning. Until I left Lagos at 8 pm yesterday, he had not arrived in Lagos. He only arrived in Lagos at about 2 pm today. A journey that usually takes a maximum of 8 hours now takes nearly two days.

This is not just about bad roads. It is about lost man-hours, stranded passengers sleeping on highways, wasted fuel, damaged vehicles, delayed goods, and businesses losing millions of naira.

Nigerians do not need new projects just for the headlines. We need functional roads that make life and economic activity possible.

A government must understand that infrastructure is not necessarily about the size of the project; it is about the number of lives and livelihoods it improves.

A new Nigeria is POSSIBLE, and Nigeria will be OK. -PO
