Ayodeji Oyewumi: A Peter Obi Vote, No-brainer! by Obojuju: 6:00pm On Aug 23, 2022
As expected, my post regarding why I won't be voting for BAT generated reactions from BAT's camp. I doubt anyone who is already BATified will understand most of what I’m about to share but for those still sitting on the fence, please walk with me. In an ideal environment, a thread isn't needed on why a vote for PO will deliver a New Nigeria but then we are still in the old.
Currently Nigeria needs a man who operates in these 3 pillars;
1.) Globally aligned blue print
2.) Human Capital Development
3.) Conscious capitalism

1.) Globally Aligned blueprint.
Good governance is NOT hard, thieves make an argument for one. Over the past two decades, a thin consensus has been emerging on what countries should do to foster economic development & growth. The consensus revolves around 3 building blocks;
✅Human Capital Development
✅"Needed" Infrastructure
✅ Leadership by example
When Kemi Adeosun mentioned the FG depends on a blueprint designed by a man who hasn't developed himself since 1979, then one shouldn't be surprised at the failures of this administration. Among major candidates, PO is head & shoulders above all with regards to the awareness of the 3 building blocks needed to foster economic growth for a country - all thanks to his updated Education. When he talks about the feat made by countries such as Singapore, Thailand etc. So not surprised when BATified call PO a liar or the China man, they just can't comprehend. Just like BAT, their understanding of good governance is "legacy" projects like roads & flyovers. PO used this framework has a governor and he is ready to use it at the national level

2.) Human Capital Development
Public servants should be focused on serving the public - not any special interest group, & good governance should be an expectation - not an exception. Not surprised that the FIRST building block of the global framework for economic growth is HDI. Human capital fuels economic growth & contributes significantly to higher labour productivity. It's also crucial for innovation & the absorption of ideas from around the world. No country can grow without an accompanying commitment from its govt to investing in human capital. Aside PO, none of the major contenders has boldly profess his commitment to a principle of PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT then infrastructure. Aside PO, none of the main contenders has spoken against why young graduates with laptops are profiled criminals when we should invest in them more

3.) Conscious Capitalism
Many have argued what economic & political philosophy describes PO. Is he a socialist, communist or capitalist? To star with, BAT is neither a socialist nor a capitalist. I know many BATified ignorantly confuse socialism with welfarism. And since BAT is the only man with "Wealth with no Enterprise", we can't call him a capitalist too. He is just simply a GODFATHER! So how about PO? PO is a conscious capitalist. Conscious capitalism refers to a socially responsible economic and political philosophy. In other words, it builds on the foundations of capitalism of building values however those values are for the gains of the PEOPLE & the Environment. There are 4 traits of a conscious capitalist: Higher Purpose, Stakeholder Orientation, Conscious Leadership & Conscious Culture. From not collecting pension after office, to not accepting land offered to him as governor, to cutting cost of governance, to giving senior citizens allowance, to diverting security votes to education & healthcare, to investing in education & health facilities in different zones of the country from his PERSONAL POCKETS, Peter Obi is surely a conscious capitalist and this is what LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE is about. Nigeria needs such person with empathy, conscience & love for others. To everyone with a good conscience, may i remind u of the words of Louis-Ferdinand..."I have never voted in my life, I have always known & understood that the idiots are in a majority so it's certain they will win" The battle for 2023 is to negate this assertion. Nigeria is blessed with many sound minds in the majority. Let us join hands to vote an educated man. Let us join hands to vote for human capital developer. Let’s us join hands to vote for a man with a conscience. Say with me...I am smart, I have my PVC & I'm voting for Peter Obi.

One of the many sensible and responsible Yoruba man

2023 is about liberating Nigerians from the satanic strong hold of APC and everything and everyone that's connected or has direct link with the evil party that has sent many Nigerians to there early graves

We would come out victorious at the end of this struggle by the grace of God
