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.

I would summarize Nigerian political corruption across three regimes. Two of them fall within the democratic era that started in 1999, up to the current regime.

The Obasanjo, PDP and Goodluck Jonathan era had a particular style of corruption: steal whatever you can, but share. So, if you steal ₦200 million, keep ₦50 million for yourself and share the remaining ₦150 million. Return whatever you can, in whatever form or through whatever means. That was the system. Show love.

That is also why many of the people who entered positions of power during those years, from the police and military to the civil service, who are still there today. Many of them are people who understand and operate within that bribery system. Bribe someone, steal what you want, give a percentage, bribe someone else, and everyone is fine.

Then came the APC and Buhari era. They were the procurement boys.

They could wake up one morning and decide that the government needed to buy firefighting trucks, like in cases involving people such as Harri sharry Potter Sidika, and billions could disappear without the trucks even being properly bought. One pen could somehow cost billions.

Everything became procurement. If you wanted something fixed, there had to be procurement money attached to it before anyone was interested. Even when people were dying, the conversation was about what needed to be purchased.

Insecurity? We need to buy new guns.

Bad roads? We need to buy new tractors.

Fire outbreaks? We need new firefighting trucks.

Electricity? Another procurement process.

That was how the money was stolen. Procurement became the system.

This current regime operates differently. They are the Omonile boys. They want their hands in every single pie.

It does not matter whether it is what a local trader is selling in a market for ten naira or a major deal worth $100 billion. They want a piece of it. Legitimate or illegitimate. Good or bad. Big or small. Just put them in it.

That is how they operate.

This is how corruption works in Nigeria, and it helps explain why things remain largely the same. Every new regime comes with its own style of corruption.

People that I know that do this , I’ve always told them how irresponsible and callous they are. If you think Nigeria was so good, why’d you run from there?

[Aji Bussu Onye Mpiawa azụ 🇨🇮 @AfamDeluxo]

This is why seeing Nigerians in the diaspora support Bola Tinubu deeply disturbs me. You live in societies where functional systems make life easier, yet defend the very conditions you escaped back home. To me, that goes beyond politics. It feels deeply wicked.
