According to Mr Peter Obi, a former Labour Party, LP presidential candidate, every Nigerian is aware of the issues the country faces.

Obi expressed his disheartenment at hearing from those in authority who were employed to deal with issues that Nigerians are not the only ones who face hunger and poverty.

Rather, he argued that a great leader offers assurance, direction, and solutions in times of crisis.

The former governor of Anambra State suggested that the nation needs a comprehensive action plan to address its particular problems in a post on his X handle on Friday.

Obi urged people in positions of authority to provide real answers rather than just a gentle reminder that other people have similar problems.

He asserts that the nation requires a thorough strategy to address the unique issues, not generalisations that belittle the experiences of Nigerians.

He wrote: “The problems facing Nigeria are well-known to all Nigerians.

“We are the poverty capital of the world, among the most insecure people on earth, among the hungriest, have poor education quality and the highest number of out-of-school children, high infant mortality, corruption, unemployment, the highest income gap between the poor and the rich, high corruption perception index, infrastructure and healthcare challenges, and more.

“It is disheartening to hear those in charge, who were hired to address our problems, make statements like ‘we are not the only ones struggling with poverty and hunger.’

“Instead of merely acknowledging that other countries face similar challenges, we need to hear a thorough plan of action to tackle our unique struggles.

“We require concrete solutions and a clear vision to address these issues, not comparisons that downplay our circumstances.

“I urge those in leadership positions to offer tangible solutions, not mere reminders that others face similar challenges.

“We need a comprehensive approach to tackle our specific challenges, not generalizations that dismiss our experiences. A true leader provides direction, guidance, solutions, and reassurance in times of crisis.

“This is the hallmark of visionary leadership and a trait of nations that are making progress and advancing their development. They don’t simply state the obvious but offer a roadmap for overcoming obstacles.

“Just like a pilot who doesn’t just announce turbulence, they assure passengers that they will do everything possible to ensure a safe journey.

“Only then can we begin to trust that our country is in capable hands, working towards a brighter future for all Nigerians.”
