African Democratic Congress (ADC) member, Peter Obi, has visited former President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, to discuss about the future of Nigeria.
Obi’s visit to the former Vice President is in continuation of his “extensive consultations” with Leaders of Nigeria, “notable” Leaders from the South East, concerning the 2027 General Elections.
His “Frank” discussions with GEJ focused on the “urgent” need to shift the country on a “path of unity and stability”; as the nation continues to strife with “economic hardship”, the time has come for all Leaders to converge and fight for the good of the people of Nigeria, he said.
Obi posted on X: “In continuation of my extensive consultations with Nigerian leaders, today, notable South East Leaders, and I visited our respected former President Goodluck Jonathan @GEJonathan on a consultation regarding the 2027 general elections and, more importantly, the future of our dear nation.
“Our discussions were frank, thoughtful, and anchored on the urgent need to reposition Nigeria on the path of unity, security, stability, productivity, and inclusive governance. At a time when our nation continues to grapple with economic hardship,
“rising insecurity, and deepening social divisions, it has become imperative that Leaders across regions come together to reflect, consult, and act in the overall interest of the Nigerian people.”
Right now, Nigeria need Leaders with “competence and compassion”, the former Labour Party (LP) member said; he added, Nigeria “must” move from “consumption to production”
Obi posted: “Nigeria today requires leadership that is guided not by personal ambition, but by competence, character, capacity, and compassion. The kind of leadership that understands that governance is not about sharing what is left, but about creating what is needed.
“We must move from a consumption-driven nation to a production-driven one, where our vast human and natural resources are effectively harnessed for the common good.”
He said, the 2027 General Elections in Nigeria must be seen as a “critical opportunity” to reconfigure the path of the country, expressing his positive belief that “Nigeriwill rise again”.
“The 2027 elections must therefore not just be seen as another political exercise, but as a critical opportunity to reset the trajectory of our country.
“It must be about the Nigerian child who deserves quality education, the struggling entrepreneur who needs a conducive environment to thrive, and the millions of citizens who simply desire a secure and functional nation.
“I remain convinced that through sincere dialogue, unity of purpose, and a firm commitment to doing what is right, Nigeria can and will rise again.”
