The last few days has seen so much hardshio visited on innocent Nigerians because of an ill-timed politically motivated naira redesign policy. People don't have cash to transact daily businesses and many queue daily in banks, ATMs and POS, some fighting physically and going naked. There are even states in Nigeria where there are just banks in two out of 27 local govt, people there are right now just sitting at home doing nothing as there is no more means of trade.

There are four major candidates for this month's presidential elections. Asiwaju Tinubu has come out forcefully against the implementation of the policy and senior members of his campaign have openly criticized even the president for it drawing his attention to the suffering of the people. This perhaps has led to some modifications by the CBN. Atiku Abubakar too called for extension though he is now backtracking but at least he realized the suffering of the people and has made appeals on their behalf. Rabiu Kwankwaso has vehemently opposed the timing and implementation citing the present hardship the people are going through. But Peter Obi has been silent, he has taken no position and aired no position. To the suffering of the people he shows no sympathy.

It is true the political class are really not affected cos they can get their cash anyway after all big men don't go to ATMs or POS or even banking queues. Big men always have their cash. But what of the poor Obidient who for a week now has not opened her shop, has not been able to find cash to buy her medicine or food for her children? As a leader Peter Obi ought to speak for them but he is not.

Leadership is not forced, u can't force a man who is not a leader to play a leadership role no matter how passionate u as his supporters are, when he has not developed such capacity over time. Obi is a good man but he is not a leader, he can't stand the heat that comes with taking very tough stands and fighting it through. Obi has no balls and no stomach for a fight and God forbid he becomes president. He is in the same mould as Jonathan, would be caged by a cabal in weeks. Those that have developed themselves in leadership are the ones presently fighting for us and on Feb 25, God will reward them accordingly. God forbid a spineless leader for Nigeria

He is focused indeed.

Kwankwanso is unfocused, that's why he went to channels tv to speak against the demonic policy and scarcity hurting Nigerians.

Tinubu is unfocused too for first speaking against the policy and scarcity, literally telling APC (his party ooo) and Buhari to wake up.

Aisha Buhari too is unfocused.

Atiku too is unfocused. We all know mikano's selfishness no get competition; he still spoke anyhow anyhow, while sitting on the fence.

Pandora Anini was so focused on his ambition so such he didn't see or care that his obidients are suffering the fuel and cash scarcity. if they die of hunger or trek miles to reach destinations, or can't go to work; e no concern am. they're just tools to him to achieve his ambition. they don't matter.

ElSudani:
You are right sir, if he is not fighting for you now, don't expect him to fight for you in future. It is all about him.

Odibembem:
This policy is starving the society with cash would even make vote buying easier. First of all the political class already have enough of the new notes they need, they have access to the banking system and a call to a 3 bank MDs in their team would give them the whole cash they need so don't be deceived. And because the people are starved if cash, they would be more receptive of vote buyers, instead of maybe 5k or more, people would hapilly receive 2k or 3k and give u their vote. Thirdly who told u naira is d only currency that can be used to buy vote? In the core north CFA is handy and can easily be exchanged for naira at a future date, am sure those that want to buy votes have already stacked enough CFAs for that purpose. So don't even imagine this will hurt the political class, it actually benefits them, it's d masses that are in pains especially Obidients but their leader Peter Obi is too chicken hearted to speak out for them. He is not fit for high office, let he go and be Laity Chairman at his Parish wherever he worships

socialmediaman:
These baalablu supporters are getting desperate lol

Do you remember what Tinubu said when EndSars protesters were shot at and murdered?

"What were they doing there in the first place" were his words.

For 8 years people have been suffering and dying, this baalablu bulaba man was silent. Now his political ambition is about to be crushed and he has suddenly become the voice of the people?

De play, you hear? De play

Odibembem:
Seeking political leadership is a selfish endeavor because you want to be the one so 100% of them are selfish but in seeking office, once in a while d interest of the people u seek to lead must coincide with yours, hence you must speak up. Obi has shown that he would run away from doing d tough things, he would run away from a fight, the national assembly, diplomatic community and the military would cough and Obi would take flight, they would ask him to foist a very negative policy on Nigerians and he won't have the balls to fight or say no, Such a man should and will never be president of Nigeria

NwaliE01:
This is not correct. You're mixing up issue and don't allow this to becloud your conscience.
People that created the problem are trying to convince you that because someone didn't talk about the problem, then you should vote them to oppress you and keep you wailing.

As a leader, there are certain issues you should not dabble into especially when it's very sensitive.

This naira myraid is beyond just words. Anyone can talk from now till tomorrow, it wouldn't add a kobo to any ATM machine.

We should be smart to focus on solving our collective problems rather than scouting for someone that has nothing to do with our plight to aportion blames to him.

Truth be told, what do you expect Obi to say now that would change the situation?

SenatePresdo:
It's Tinubu that brought this calamity on Us.

Peter Obi's duty is to win the election and make policies that wold favour the common man.

backnbeta:
Sitting on the fence is safer... nobody will know if you are for or against

Odibembem:
But Peter Obi cannot win my brother, he stands zero chance, the only way he comes into the discussion is cos of the big insults and distractions from his angry supoorters

pineed:
Very wrong. A great leader never sits on the fence

It's weak "leaders" that sit on the fence.
