Peter Obi, a prominent Nigerian politician and former governor of Anambra State, has urged Nigerians to reject divisive mentalities that hinder national progress, such as the “my turn” mindset, tribalism, and religious bias in leadership. Speaking at a recent event, Obi emphasized that these attitudes perpetuate division and distract from the collective goal of national development. He argued that Nigeria’s challenges require a unified approach, where leaders prioritize the welfare of all citizens over personal or group interests.
Obi called on citizens to critically evaluate their leaders, focusing on competence and integrity rather than ethnic or religious affiliations. He warned that relying on tribalism or religious loyalty in political leadership can lead to poor governance and increased corruption, ultimately undermining the country’s stability. By fostering a culture of accountability and transparency, he believes Nigeria can break free from the shackles of divisive politics and move toward a more inclusive society.
In his closing remarks, Obi urged Nigerians to embrace a new narrative centered on unity and cooperation. He highlighted the potential for greatness that lies within the nation when its people come together, regardless of their differences. By rejecting the “my turn” mentality and advocating for merit-based leadership, Obi believes that Nigerians can work collectively to build a brighter future for generations to come.
