The former Anambra State governor, noted that Nigerians have seen what leadership without these qualities has done to the country.
The 2023 Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, has sent a message to Nigerians looking for a better country.
He warned them that Nigeria can't get better if they keep voting along tribal lines rather than based on competence and capacity.
Obi stated this in a post on his official X handle on Monday.
The former Anambra State governor, noted that Nigerians have seen what leadership without these qualities has done to the country.
“Leadership of a nation is such that it’s either succeeding or failing, none can be hidden. There are critical areas of leadership that must exist for a nation to move forward, and these are summed up in four Cs: Competence, Capacity, Character and Compassion. Where these four are non-existent, there is no magic you can do.
“It’s in this line that I have always maintained that we must move away from voting based on tribe and religion, and begin to vote for people with competence, capacity, character, and compassion, because we have all seen, painfully, what leadership without these qualities has done to our country,” Obi’s post read.
Speaking further, Obi stressed that Nigeria today needs a leader who understands the issues, who has the knowledge, experience, and clear ideas to solve them.
“Competence because Nigeria today needs a leader who understands the issues, who has the knowledge, experience, and clear ideas to solve them. Capacity because it is not a ceremonial position; it requires strength, stamina, and the mental energy to confront our complex challenges.
“And above all, leadership must be rooted in character and integrity because without “integrity, public trust collapses, corruption thrives, and selfishness takes over. But perhaps most importantly, we need compassion, because when a leader lacks compassion, human lives are treated as statistics, and suffering is ignored.”
