As Nigerians, we’ve been through enough—enough betrayal, enough selective justice, enough lip service. And yet, we’re here again, witnessing Peter Obi, a man vying for the highest office in our country, practicing a brand of selective silence that is not only disturbing but fundamentally flawed for anyone aspiring to lead a nation as complex and demanding as ours.

When it comes to national issues, Peter Obi has been strangely silent, particularly when his own base or the Southeast are implicated. The latest example? The case of House of Representatives member Alex Ikwechegh allegedly assaulting someone—a clear-cut issue of abuse of power. Yet, from Obi? Silence. Not even a whisper. Contrast this with how quickly he springs to life, microphone in hand, when incidents occur in other regions. Whether it’s the North or the South, Obi doesn’t hesitate to weigh in, sometimes even prejudging cases before any investigation has been launched. His speeches flow like the Niger River when he perceives an opportunity to score political points outside his stronghold, but when accountability hits closer to home? Not a word.

This isn’t just a slip in character—it’s a critical failure in presidential caliber. Leadership demands consistency in values. Nigerians can no longer afford leaders who pick and choose when to stand with them. Justice isn’t supposed to be regional or conditional, but Obi’s selective moral outrage makes it seem otherwise.

Now, take a look at Atiku Abubakar. Despite his personal closeness to Senator Abbo—the same senator who shamefully assaulted a young woman in a intimacy gadget shop—Atiku made a statement that made Nigerians take notice. He didn’t mince words, didn’t dodge accountability; he publicly condemned Abbo’s actions, stating they were unbecoming of a senator and called for due legal repercussions. He didn’t hide behind friendship or affiliations. He displayed what a presidential candidate should: a readiness to hold even close associates accountable, a commitment to a standard that is supposed to apply to every Nigerian equally. That’s the mark of a leader with a presidential mindset—someone prepared to make the hard calls, even when they cut close to home.

Peter Obi, for all his touted prudence, lacks this backbone. And the silence isn’t limited to him alone. Many who should have condemned Alex Ikwechegh’s actions have turned mute, their outrage suspiciously absent. This silence from Obi and others reveals a culture that prioritizes convenience over principle, comfort over courage.

Nigeria cannot afford leaders who speak when it suits them and go silent when the waters get choppy. Real leadership requires speaking out not just when it’s convenient but when it’s necessary. We need leaders who don’t just occupy the spotlight but hold it up to everyone—including themselves and their allies. Peter Obi may have been a fine governor, perhaps even a great one. But presidential material? True leadership requires more than economic savvy or regional appeal. It requires an unyielding commitment to justice that transcends friendship, geography, and political calculations.

In the end, Nigeria deserves a leader who sees this nation as a whole, not as fractured segments where allegiance depends on the audience. Until Peter Obi can stand firm, without regard to where his support lies, he will remain a regional figure at best, a man whose aspirations reach the presidency but whose actions reveal the limits of his leadership. A great governor? Maybe. A presidential figure for all Nigerians? Hardly. And for those watching—those who still believe in holding every Nigerian to account without fear or favor—it’s time to demand more from the people we consider presidential contenders. We need leaders who have the courage to hold justice high, even when it stings their closest supporters. That’s real leadership. That’s what Nigerians deserve.

Adeboye is a Tithe Monger. BEGGARS OF TITHE.
Eat your tithes. Dubious pastors will never ever preach it.

Deuteronomy 14 v 22-29
22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year.

23 👉Eat the tithe👈 of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always.

24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away),

25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose.

26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then 👉you and your household shall eat there👈 in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice.

27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.

28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns,

29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
