And the rehabilitated terrorists are paid monthly. This country is upside down.

“Nigeria is not a poor country, it was looted into poverty, and we will change it” — Peter Obi declares

That chanced meeting between Mr. Peter Obi and Reno Omokri, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja, where both Men exchanged pleasantries, speaks loudly of a unique quality that endears many to Peter Obi.

What is that quality - his simplicity; the way he has demystified power, position, and influence.

No wonder every time he appears in the public, the crowd throng him, not to beg for money or favours, but just to shake his hand or have a photo with him.

How many times have you seen a country’s leading presidential candidate go about in that manner, not using his power and wealth to harass, intimidate, and oppress others?

How many Ex-Governors in Nigeria, Peter Obi’s peers can go about in that same manner, without heavy security, simply because they are afraid of being attacked by the same people they were supposed to govern?

You see, every country that eventually got up from their knees and became a global power, had to get a leader like Peter Obi at some point in their journey,

That is why we say that he is the Man Nigeria needs at this time when she is at this existential crossroad.

While we as a people may have been missing it before now, if we get it right this time, it will make up for decades of going round in circles.

Surely, a New Nigeria is possible with Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

Have a great week ahead.
