Distribution of Campaign Vehicles: Profound Insensitivity and Abuse of Trust.

At a time when Nigerians are struggling with hunger, unemployment, and insecurity, the decision of any government to allocate limited public resources for distributing luxury vehicles like Hilux trucks and Hummer buses as part of the 2027 campaign mobilisation is not only insensitive but also represents a serious moral failure.

While ordinary Nigerians are grappling with poverty and hopelessness, those in leadership positions continue to flaunt their wealth by driving brand-new Land Cruisers, Hiluxes, and Hummers, treating the suffering of the people as mere background for political theatrics. This tragic misplacement of priorities is unacceptable.

Leadership, especially in these challenging times, should focus on providing food for the hungry, ensuring access to healthcare for the sick, restoring hope for millions of unemployed youth, and securing our communities. It should not be about parading luxury vehicles or campaigning for votes.

It is disheartening that, at a time when children are dropping out of school because their families cannot afford tuition fees, when mothers are dying during childbirth due to a lack of basic medical supplies, and when insecurity is tearing families apart, the response from those in power is to purchase and distribute luxury vehicles rather than urgently addressing the needs of the people.

This is not governance. It reflects a profound insensitivity and an abuse of public trust disguised as a political strategy. It betrays the essence of public service, which should always be about serving the people rather than staging political publicity.

At times like this, we must recognise that Nigeria cannot continue on a path of wastefulness, insensitivity, and misplaced priorities. Our citizens deserve leadership grounded in empathy, prudence, and accountability. Regardless of how bleak the situation may appear today, I firmly believe that a New Nigeria is not only necessary; it is POssible. -PO

Peter Obi

LagosOrigin:
Well said Mr Peter Obi.

Tinubu is sharing vehicles for election campaign at a time Nigerians are being slaughtered and kidnapped in large numbers for ransom..

What a president .

Max24:
Why didn't (bi talk like this when Buhari was the president? He is lucky Tinubu is not like Biya, the Cameroonian president.

LagosOrigin:
We don't get to see you on threads about Islamic terrorists murdering Nigerians in their homes and farmlands to condemn the act. But when Peter Obi speak up over the insecurity ravaging the country since the inception of tinubu government, you jump out from nowhere to attack him.

You tinubu supporters are the true enemies of this country.

You need to check the threads very well. I have been speaking against insecurity in Nigeria that your fellow obi-condemn noise makers even asked if my account is compromised or I'm not getting my monthly 30k stipends from APC.
