Peter Obi has said, a “true leader must be a peacemaker”.
The former Anambra State Governor made the statement in Abuja when he attended the Oxford Global Think Tank Leadership Conference at Transcorp Hilton.
The event themed “Better Leadership for a Better Nigeria” was put together by Mrs. Arunma Oteh.
At the conference, Obi said, a “true leader is one who builds bridges rather than walls”, as well as, one “whose leadership unites people” with the aim to achieve “collective progress”.
Taking to X, Obi said: “A true leader must be a peacemaker — one who builds bridges rather than walls, and whose leadership unites people in the pursuit of collective progress.
“Nigeria’s greatest challenge is not the absence of resources, but the absence of leadership grounded in unity and genuine empathy.
“We must continue to work for a unified Nigeria — one where leadership reflects the values of equity and compassion, and where every citizen, regardless of background, feels seen, valued, and included in the progress of our dear nation.”
The conference had in attendance His Highness Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II, Atedo Peterside, Governor Alex Otti, ministers, as well as, other top personalities.
