If Service is the motive Turning the Tide in Four Years is Possible

I still find it baffling that my decision to do a term of four years, if given the mandate to rule this country, is generating so much agitation. By this feeling, we are doubting the fact that a sincere leader can achieve much in 48 months.

I have never been desperate in the pursuit of power, or anything else, for that matter. There are some traits associated with desperation, which in no way are in any of my political behaviours in the past and now, like engaging in overly aggressive rhetoric or actions to prove a point or gain attention; becoming overly defensive or reactive to criticism, often to the point of appearing paranoid.
Making unrealistic or unfulfillable promises to win support or approval, resorting to personal attacks or character assassination to discredit opponents or frequently changing positions or policies to suit immediate political needs.

What drives me is not personal ambition, but a deep, commitment to see Nigeria work. And if the sacrifice required of me is four years of sincere, accountable leadership, so be it.

Throughout my political journey, I have never been involved in thuggery, the snatching of ballot boxes, or any form of electoral malpractice. I challenge anyone: conduct your investigations. You will find no stains of rigging or violence associated with my name. I have always chosen the path of peace, principle, and civility.

Ask those who have contested against me—none were ever denied their rights, framed, or falsely accused. None was asked to place their advert materials or break the bank to do so. I believe in fair competition, not manufactured victories.

In four years we can confront corruption head-on, redirecting resources to priority areas. For instance, the trillions used to acquire new presidential jets and other unnecessary expenses at this time could have been channelled into education, healthcare, or infrastructure.

Within the same period, we ensure that the rule is sacrosanct and the rule of law is strictly followed.
Within the same period, we can conduct free, fair and credible elections

Leadership, to me, is not about entitlement. It is about service. If given the mandate, for just one term, I will dedicate every moment to building a Nigeria that works for all.

This man should go and rest. We are in this condition today because of him , Tinubu won 2023 election because of obi running from one party to another in search of presidential ticket and if time is not taking Obi is going to make Tinubu and his boys win second term

Obi is more than desperate

But Nigerians are very unserious and bitter.
Who suffers the brunt of voting wicked and incompetent leaders? It's still Nigerians.
Nigerians don't want to grow from jeun jeun politics to issue based voting.

Factcheck0001:
If obi has never been governor before, we can still take him serious.

But how do u want me to believe a man who was governor of anambra state for good 8 years n the only thing he could say when asked of his achievements was go n verify haba?

Same man that failed woefully as governor for 8 years in tiny anambara but today he wants to change Nigeria within 4 years.

These same man promised he will never leave apga but left so how do we trust him?

Same man that said he will retire corrupt politicians but now in the retirement camp of corrupt politicians


I pity those who trust this guy

omoredia:
I agree 1000 percent. It doesnt take time to change things if u want to do things right

Ofunaofu:
Absolutely. Four years is enough to make a mark and put this country on a path to progress.

Those who disagree including Daniel Bwala admit that even if given 30 years, nothing will work
