Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has expressed concern over Nigeria’s political climate, calling for a shift toward leadership rooted in values and accountability.
Speaking on governance and leadership standards, Obi emphasized that holding public office should reflect a life worthy of emulation, rather than mere titles or privileges.
He also raised concerns about what he described as attempts by those in power to influence political outcomes and restrict candidacy.
The former Anambra State governor warned that such practices could negatively shape the values of younger generations, stressing the need for a more transparent and principled political system.
“Do you know what it means to answer His Excellency? It means to live a life people can emulate. Now we are in a country where people in power don’t want me to be a particular party’s candidate. We need to end this kind of politics. What are these children going to learn from us? The lunåtics have taken over the asylum,” he said.
