Peter Obi's @PeterObi interview shows him again to be vacant of deep thought, understanding of governance, and taken up by syrupy rhetoric. He still has no plan, no alternative, and no policy plank, beyond a mouthful of sentimental nothings.

Obi's claim: He claimed he would unite Nigeria, but failed to explain how beyond the tired refrain of his cooks and ADC being northerners.

His utterances, actions, and those of his followers have but deepened the chasm.

First, the mechanics of national cohesion/national unity are inclusive governance, economic integration, and equitable citizenship. Essentially, the balancing forces of national cohesion are governance and the economy. We cannot discuss ‘’national unity’’ in isolation from the levers of leadership and the material benefits of governance. Therefore, to strengthen national unity is to ensure that public resources are delivered to all citizens regardless of faith, ethnicity, or social standing and that the government is fair and just to all.

This is where the administration of President Tinubu has achieved a sterling record. In applying the mechanics of national cohesion, the administration has ensured that the six geopolitical zones are equal beneficiaries of its programmes, initiatives, and projects, and indeed, all the accruals of governance.

Inclusive governance is another gradient where President Tinubu has tipped the scales in national soldering. He appointed young professionals from diverse backgrounds at an unprecedented scale. For the first time in the evolution of Nigeria, young people are superintending strategic sectors of government.

Also, there was a time, not so long ago, when the ethnic composition of the service chiefs was often a sore point for controversy, but in his true form as an architect of unity, balancing competence and patriotism, the President put an end to the concerns with wisdom.

President Tinubu, by his body language and extempore utterances, has maintained a nationalist and unifying position, bringing all together, and not given to divisive rhetoric.

He has continued on the unifier’s path, stitching the national fabric, building a more cohesive nation and forging a shared future for us all.

On Peter Obi's outburst over the impact of the Renewed Hope Agenda: Obi needs to get off the high of his rabid movement. The unmistakable trail of Renewed Hope shimmers across all villages, towns, cities, and local government areas in all six geopolitical zones. The Presidential Communication Team has been touring all zones to see things for themselves, feel the pulse of Nigerians, and conduit feedback to the government.

If Obi cares, there's a digital binder full of reports of Nigeria’s economic turnaround under the current administration, inclusive of many transformative projects, policies, and programmes, such as NELFUND, that are impacting Nigerians at the critical cellular level.

Under Renewed Hope, that hardworking young trader in Amatutu village in Agulu, Anambra can now get support for his small business through SMEDAN, and that brilliant child in Mopa Muro can go to university through NELFUND without the constraints of finance.

This is simply Renewed Hope manifest.
