Nigerians are no longer immune to political leaders’ underhanded tactics, which prioritize power fights above progress. The rising generation of Gen Z, the youth group that currently makes up a sizable proportion of the voting population, expects accountability, openness, and authenticity. Politicians who fail to meet these expectations will find themselves increasingly irrelevant.


Governors should channel their energies into policies that will address key issues such as hunger, unemployment, education, and infrastructural development. The challenges facing Nigeria today are too grave to allow ego-driven disputes to derail the development agenda. If a governor wishes to leave a lasting legacy, they must ensure that their administration is remembered for its *gravitas* and commitment to public service, not for petty politicking.


Lesson from Obaseki

My lesson from Obaseki’s political journey is clear: political allegiance is a two-way street. While no one can prescribe a governor’s political allegiances or personal friendships, a word of caution is adequate. Governors must resist the temptations of treachery and stick to the pledges made during their campaigns. Betrayal of one’s political allies and supporters would not only bring public condemnation but can also quickly derail a once-promising political career.


Governors across Nigeria have a rare opportunity to rewrite the story of their respective states and leave a positive legacy. But this will only be accomplished via “fortitude”, strategic governance, and, most importantly, “loyalty”—not just to their allies, but to the people they vowed to serve. Let Obaseki’s cautionary tale serve as a mirror, reflecting the repercussions of political recklessness and the enduring worth of honesty in leadership.

Though, an opinion - your premise was very wrong.
Future generation reading this won't know what transpired.
The point is that Tinubu and INEC didn't allow the people to vote their choice.

If INEC had allowed the people to choose, there's no way APC will "win" with Tinubu's wickedness and insensitive policies
The people would have truly voted out every thing with APC tag at least for the nonsense of the past 9years (starting from Buhari).

Though, I don't support obaseki, but attacking him is like ignoring the root and blaming the leaves.

Remind me of how Obasanjo supported Buhari to get Good luck out of office. After 8 years of Buhari in power, do you think it was a wise decision and not an emotionally driven decision?

That's a mere assumption or or allegations which can't be proved in the court of law.
