Former Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi has voiced his astonishment regarding the list of ambassadorial nominees that President Bola Tinubu submitted to the Senate for confirmation.
Obi stated that the list validates assertions that Tinubu’s administration promotes mediocrity, corruption, and impunity.
In a post on X, Obi remarked that certain names on the list should not have been included.
He wrote: “Indeed, some of the names being presented to represent us as ambassadors on a global scale are astonishing.
“However, with a leadership that has permitted mediocrity, corruption, and impunity to rise to prominence, what other choices could you expect?”
“While our citizens are being harmed, our leaders are preoccupied with hosting dinners. When children are abducted from their schools, the political elite is busy celebrating and dancing.”
“This is not governance. This is not leadership. And this is certainly not the Nigeria we deserve.”
“Today, when you look around, you start to grasp why the world perceives us in this manner.”
“This is not governance, this is not leadership, and this is certainly not the Nigeria we deserve.”
Obi emphasized that the Nigerian government cannot continue to tolerate such a degree of moral decay and national apathy.
He added: “A nation flourishes when its leaders genuinely feel the struggles of its citizens—not when they detach themselves from it. A nation advances when compassion, competence, and accountability govern public office, not when triviality becomes the norm.”
“But I want to remind you, the youth, to hold onto hope. Do not become desensitized. Do not let this darkness dishearten you. The New Nigeria we envision—a fair, secure, productive, and respected nation—is still achievable. But it will not occur by chance. It will happen because individuals like you refuse to accept failure as our fate.”
