Open Letter To Mr. Peter Obi: Nigerians Deserve More Than Talking Points

Dear Mr. Peter Obi,

Greetings to you sir.

As a concerned Nigerian who supported the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last general election—and continues to do so based on performance and Political will power to drive change in our country—I write to you not as an enemy, but as a fellow citizen who values facts, results, and leadership accountability.

Sir, since your debut on the national stage, you've built a reputation for frugality, economic literacy, and speaking truth to power, though I don't agree with most of your facts which are either half-truths or outright misleading. Many of our youths found hope in your words during the 2023 elections and post-2023 election. But as you once said, “truth can only be measured by results.” In that spirit, and with the 2027 elections on the horizon, I believe it is only fair to assess what you've promised, and weigh it against what the APC-led government has delivered under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Let me raise the following questions—not to antagonize, but to get better educated about what you can do for us. Nigerians deserve practicality not just inspired poetry.

1. ECONOMY & PRODUCTION: YOUR PROMISE VS. REALITY
You campaigned vigorously on the theme of “moving Nigeria from consumption to production.”

Meanwhile, under Tinubu, he did fuel subsidy removal—a decision long delayed by previous governments—has freed up fiscal space. Which have long cause drag on finance of both national and sub-national balance sheets. All the states can now pay their debts and they don't owe salaries like in the past. The current administration has launched targeted interventions in agriculture(2,000 tractors) , local manufacturing, and the renewed CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) project to reduce energy cost.

My questions to you:

How exactly would you achieve your “production” goal better than the policies already being rolled out under this administration?
What specific products or sectors would you make export-ready, and what’s your timeline? Can you fix this in 2 years you have been promising on national TV?
Can you give Nigerians costed and detailed proposals, not just soundbites?

2. JOBS, YOUTH, AND STARTUPS
While you promise to make Nigeria the "human capital capital" of the world, Tinubu has already created a Ministry of Digital Economy and Youth Innovation and launched 3 million Technical Talent (3MTT) programs for tech skills training.

What’s your plan that goes beyond these?

Will you scrap or build on these ongoing programs?
How many jobs can you create annually—and how would you fund them?


3. SECURITY & STATE POLICE
You advocate for state policing, but it is this APC government that passed the Constitutional Electricity Reform Bill and is engaging in legislative moves to devolve powers—including security.

Can you show Nigerians a working model of how state police will be funded, regulated, and prevented from becoming ethnic militias?

4. EDUCATION & OUT-OF-SCHOOL CHILDREN

You’ve often cited education as the silver bullet for poverty. This administration has expanded the school feeding program and increased UBEC funding.

Will you do more—or just echo similar goals?

What’s your new strategy for reducing the 10+ million out-of-school children?
What role will state governments—many of them opposition-run—play in your plan? Or this is just soundbite?

5. INFRASTRUCTURE & POWER
The Tinubu administration is fast-tracking strategic projects—like the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway completion, and power decentralization allowing states like Ekiti and Lagos to build grids.

You previously promised 20,000MW of electricity. How would you realistically fund, transmit, and sustain that within four years given our fiscal challenges and your stance on taking debts? Because we will need about 20billion dollars realistically to fund such ambition.

6. FOREIGN POLICY & DIASPORA
President Tinubu is rebuilding Nigeria’s global standing with strategic engagements at BRICS, G20, and Africa Investment Forums, while he floated and stabilizing the naira through new FX reforms. He also stood his ground on the recurring coups in the Ecowas block as the chair of the organization and also stood his ground against Trump's bullying.

You’ve spoken a lot about engaging the diaspora—but what diplomatic strategy will you pursue to beat what’s already ongoing? Will you continue with Tinubu’s economic diplomacy or change course?

7. POLITICAL CONSISTENCY
Sir, you've moved from APGA - PDP - LP ~ ADA/ADC in under a decade, often campaigning against the very platforms that brought you in and refuse to resolve party crisis, but preferring to elope.

Meanwhile, President Tinubu has demonstrated unflinching party loyalty for over 30 years, starting in AD - AC - ACN - APC while solidly building his party and men into a national force despite its many internal issues.

So I ask:

Will you stay in Labour Party or abandon ship again for ADC/Ada?
Do you have the national political structure, not just social media buzz and leagues of expired politician looking to gain relevance again to run Nigeria?

8. ANTI-CORRUPTION & PUBLIC SERVICE
You’ve positioned yourself as a clean leader. Yet, you were mentioned in the Pandora Papers and N250million cash in car trunk, and many Nigerians still ask for full transparency.

President Tinubu has supported judicial autonomy, begun the automation of revenue services, and strengthened the Procurement Act enforcement.

Will you do differently—or just say it differently?

Will you publicly declare your assets including those locked away in SPV's?
Will you allow EFCC to operate freely, even if it implicates your allies?
In all, Mr. Obi, we agree on one thing—Nigeria must work. But working means showing workings. Many of your ideas are noble, but they often come off as academic and idealistic which are detached from political reality. Tinubu’s government is not perfect, but it is making bold, painful, and measurable decisions. Change is not about who shouts the loudest, but who delivers the hardest.

Nigerians might have a lot of vulnerable people that always forget easily transgressions of the past. But I believe we no longer want what you will do — we want to see how you will do it better than what is being done right now.

If truly committed to governance, I challenge you to respond to this open letter with detailed policy alternatives, cost breakdowns, and measurable timelines.

As we say in APC: Renewed Hope is not a slogan; it is a work in progress.

Respectfully,

All these Agbad0id e-thugs want Peter obi to stage a protest first before they take him seriously hehehe 🤣😂

In 2023 Peter Obi was available on all debating platforms making his plans known to everyone while tilumbu was hiding in France and dodging the media. Now you have the temerity to ask all these jamb questions? From obi and not ebilokan?

You go fear set-up op, abeg carry your vote and give your tilumbu in peace oooo 😏

Nice write up OP. However, the defenders of the Agulu fraud wil not come here to counter your submission with facts. They will only abuse.

This is very on point. This open letter shows how Obi is chasing fantasy and not reality with all of his assertions.

Ebinpawa Tinubu should rule forever.


APC renewed Tribulation.

You can be sure he will not with write a similar letter to Atiku in a million years

Talking about Pandora papers that didn't actually accuse Obi of anything, and 250 million Naira that was investigated by EFCC, Nigerian Police as well as the Anambra State House of Assembly

How can three seperate bodies investigate a situation, find no fault, return the money back to Obi. And you are still mentioning a long closed case?

#NigeriaFirst #2027IsNotFar #Peterobianswerus.

Wow, I love this.


Thank you Mr writer, we cherish honest, detribalized Nigerians like you who have an open mind.



As someone close to Peter Obi and one of his ardent supporter till the day he disappoints, I will respond to some on his behalf.


First, let me correct you, other regimes didn't delay the removal of petrol subsidy, instead it was Bola Tinubu himself that sabotaged and campaigned against the removal of petrol subsidy during Goodluck Jonathan's regime which would have been the best period to remove petrol subsidy when Ngozika Okonjo-Iweala that knows better advocated for it, Tinubu mobilized Nigerians from Ojota to protest against it until Goodluck being a listening and empathetic President listened and canceled the petrol subsidy removal. Now let's move forward haven set the records straight.



If you observe closely, Tinubu's regime copies a lot of Peter Obi's plan, they silently listens to Peter Obi and implement some of Obi's blueprint, I commend Tinubu on that.


Some of such blueprints are:


1.) State Police which Obi have been hammering on. Tinubu quicky dished it out but he still doesn't have the full confidence to fully implement it because he is scared that Governors, especially Northern Governors could use it against him in 2027.


Obi would have set the ball of State Police rolling since and by now, we would have been at the stage of assessing it's effectiveness and discussing how to refine it and correct some negativities in State Police, but Tinubu is not ready to implement it until he wins 2027 reelection.


2.) Second is, let me not go there for now.


Let's talk about Peter Obi's consumption to production economy blueprint. Mind you, I won't go into details because eyes are watching, Obi and we his close supporters have learned some lessons and still learning to guard our words.


You removed subsidy, if truly you did, trillions have been saved from doing that, what do you do with the trillions saved? Reinvest or re channel it to a more productive venture and be honest about it. The coastal highway from Lagos to Calabar is a national waste, it will add no economic value to Nigeria of today. We need short term and long term economic plans but with more focus on the short term plans to get us out of the woods faster before we are caught up.


The North have a versed fertile land that can turn Nigeria to agro hub of Africa and the world if managed properly. Why not channel part of the trillions saved from subsidy removal to that sector and forget about the coastal highway to perdition, a conduit pipe for looting?


Take State Policing serious to return safety to the North to encourage farmers to go back to their farms?


You want a productive economy and you still peg interest rate at about 25 to 30%, how do you expect production factories and entrepreneurs to borrow at such ridiculous rate and meet up? That interest rate is too high for a nation that wants to boost local production, Tinubu should take my tip and work on it.


Creating Blue economy ministry or so is not enough, what realistic projects have they embarked on or rolled out to empower Nigerian youths in reality and not just on paper and on media propaganda?


How can you remove petrol subsidy and also unpeg the FX at the same time and not expect a crippling economy afterwards? You do these things in batches while you observe the effects of each till things come in place.


Devaluation of Naira when Nigeria isn't exporting large quantity of finished products is shooting yourself on the leg.


Who said importation cripples a nation's economy? The only thing you must do is to ensure that you are exporting as much as you are importing until you are balanced enough to export more. But tightening import duties and restricting major/critical goods from being imported when you aren't comparatively producing enough locally will boomerang; it is the reason for the high cost of goods and hunger in Nigeria.


You focus on the things you have comparative advantage not otherwise.


If your climate is not good enough to produce enough local rice to feed your population at affordable price, why not forget about local production and import it and channel your energy and resources to other grains that you have a comparative advantage to grow locally instead of stopping rice importation that you know your climate cannot allow you to produce locally at a cheaper price than import no matter how much you invest in it?


America is a heavy import nation that depend hugely on China because many products they need are better imported cheaper from China while they focus on other goods they have comparative advantage on to boost their economy.


China does same.



Let me stop here, we don't want to be giving free economic blueprint again, I can be consulted for an affordable fee



Why is Tinubu scared of reforming our electoral system to make sure Nigerians elect their preferred leaders; from LGA to Federal level? That act alone will change the destiny of Nigeria for good because as soon as Nigerian politicians realize that only the people's votes can put and return them to office, they will start doing everything possible to lead well to please the masses and not some elites. It will reduce leadership corruption and negligence because every elected leader in Nigeria will take their role serious. Tinubu should work on that, Peter Obi will overhaul Nigeria's electoral system whether it would favor him or not, he will do it as a legacy he will be forever remembered for.

Court and Judges shouldn't be the people deciding who should lead Nigeria as it is today. Why must few men who call themselves Supreme Court Judges be the ones to decide the fate of electoral candidates after election? We must do a way with that to achieve a better nation if we are to remain one nation.

Ask those silly questions to your incompetent APC government that has failed in all indexes of governance.

I don't blame you clowns; we've got more clowns in Nigeria who judge things based on tribal and religious lines.

Imagine the audacity of a failure asking silly questions!

Na Agbadorians post this thing...e sure for me na them.

So long (a ridiculous) letter.

Make demands of the man and party you supported.

If your life is better and your standard of living has improved since 2023, then you don't have to worry about Obi's talking points.


Here are 2 questions for you BAT/APC supporters.

1.) LIST 5 THINGS THAT GOT BETTER SINCE BAT BECAME PRESIDENT.

2. LIST 5 THINGS THAT GOT WORSE SINCE BAT BECAME PRESIDENT. (I'm sure there's at least 20 that can be listed here).

Are you sure he will hear, because his headless mob are already mobbing you, that is how Ojukwu convince them to die in their millions with no question asked, in fact Kanu Nnamdi was worse in a more advanced environment they still prefer to die based on ignoring wisdom and knowledge, they defend Evans the kidnapper and the fraudulent Jamb girl despite the fact and truth are starring in the face.

You can't even write a letter to T-Pain because he no send you, if you want Peter Obi to be your President vote for him in 2027 because like it is, you don't even regard the bula blu seated in Aso rock

I believe that Peter Obi will do better as the president of Nigeria

Of course, when it is time to put someone else under scrutiny, you turn to into Ojuelegba Christiana Amanpour.

Did you, in 2023 pose these questions to your candidate who is now president?

Op, you need a job
Op, you need a job
Op, you need a job
Op, you need a job

Unfortunately your principal dodged every opportunity to face the other contestants in a decent debate that would have given Nigerias to assess them. If you had asked him half of these questions, you would have been sure to decipher he had no plans other than to take and take and take away from Nigerians.
Please whatever you want to settle for, is your decision.

Two years after election,Obi still dey trend so, agbadoria cassavani people nor dey sleep till now.
Anything e do or talk na trend.He serve food na trend.
What about Trump wey serve fries for McDonald?

Is Obi occupying any office? Yeye dey worry this OP.
Whwn the numerous donations are there.

Just ask Tinubu one of the questions and get reply first, instead of coming here to disgrace yourself for supporting, mediocrity, ethnicity, corruption and outright wickedness

Obi is not your president
Write an open letter to tinubi to clarify his drug dealing past and how he was seen everywhere with abacha and why all of abacha money laundering network are working in real time for tinubi today
That your 30k they pay in your group is a waste

Wait ooo. Why is agbado people really afraid of Peter obi? Na wa ooo

Is APc that is in power now playing opposition?

If not that I dont really understand atiku

Atiku/obi ticket can take tinubu out of power

A serial party hopper with zero political ideology and no real economic blueprint—just recycled buzzwords—once swore he would never abandon APGA. Yet, he quickly jumped ship to dine under the Jonathan administration.

After delivering a woeful eight-year performance in a small state like Anambra, he now parades himself as Nigeria’s saviour, acting like a Mr. Know-It-All with a magic wand to fix this nation’s deeply rooted problems overnight. The hypocrisy is staggering. Interesting times ahead indeed.

The OP has been answered in this thread. I hope he at least responds or acknowledges the answer.

If he doesn't then it's evident that his questions were not sincere but a critique of someone who is not eve in government.

Open Letter To Mr. Peter Obi: Nigerians Deserve More Than Talking Points

Buy my X (twitter) account.
I opened it in 2010. Thats is 15yrs running.
Although i dont have much followers but the account has been very active since 2022.
If you are obidient, it is a perfect for you because i am Obidient and most of my comments and comments are purely in support of Obi since 2022.
If you are APC or Tinubu supporters, it is also good for you as you can easily convince more people that you were formerly Obidient that decided to stop supporting Obi and switch to Tinubu.
If you are also neutral, it also comes with advantage
Kindly indicate in the comment section and then we can talk

Only that Obi cannot win

Let's assume he wins in 2027

If he ever wins, it is from day one some of us will start giving him the sticks. He must produce the magic he has always talked about in a single day, otherwise this Nigeria will not contain all of us. We must see tangible results from day one or all he'll will let loose

It's then Obidients will know that social media rascality is not just for them alone. Two can play at the game

His ambition better remains a pipe dream >:

Open Letter To Mr. Peter Obi: Nigerians Deserve More Than Talking Points

You're just disturbing yourself over nothing! Obi has nothing to offer Nigeria and Nigerians, his media engagement these past weeks clearly confirms, that.
His Obidients can go and verify what i just said with an open, mind!

Hope Buhari did so much Talking before he was enthroned?
Hope Tinubu did so much Talking too before he was enthroned?

Why is Tinubu scared of reforming our electoral system to make sure Nigerians elect their preferred leaders; from LGA to Federal level? That act alone will change the destiny of Nigeria for good because as soon as Nigerian politicians realize that only the people's votes can put and return them to office, they will start doing everything possible to lead well to please the masses and not some elites. It will reduce leadership corruption and negligence because every elected leader in Nigeria will take their role serious. Tinubu should work on that, Peter Obi will overhaul Nigeria's electoral system whether it would favor him or not, he will do it as a legacy he will be forever remembered for.

Court and Judges shouldn't be the people deciding who should lead Nigeria as it is today. Why must few men who call themselves Supreme Court Judges be the ones to decide the fate of electoral candidates after election? We must do a way with that to achieve a better nation if we are to remain one nation.

Bola Tinubu and his team should come to me for an affordable paid economic blueprint that will turn things around for good for all Nigerians
