Reject ‘My Turn’ Mentality, Tribalism, Religious Bias In Leadership – Obi Tells Nigerians

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in Nigeria’s 2023 general elections, has called on Nigerians to reject the “my turn” syndrome, tribalism, and religious bias, which he says are hindering the nation’s progress.

Obi highlighted the recent election of Kemi Badenoch as the UK Conservative Party leader, noting that her success comes at a time when many Nigerians are doubting their potential.

In a congratulatory message shared on his X account (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Obi praised Badenoch’s achievement, viewing it as an encouraging example for Nigerian and African youth. “The news of Nigerian-born Kemi Badenoch’s election as leader of the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom couldn’t have come at a better time, as events in Nigeria have left many questioning their own potential,” he stated.

Obi emphasized that Badenoch’s success underscores the power of diversity and the possibilities that emerge when competence, integrity, and inclusivity are prioritized. “Her election is a testament to the global potential of Nigerian and African youth,” he said.

Reflecting on Nigeria’s leadership landscape, Obi criticized the tendency to sideline young, competent leaders in favor of older, less driven figures. He expressed hope that Badenoch’s achievement would inspire Nigerians to prioritize qualities like capacity, integrity, and forward-thinking in their own leaders.

“As we celebrate Kemi’s achievement, let it serve as a catalyst for change in Nigeria. It’s time to move beyond outdated traditions of tribalism, religious bias, and the ‘my turn’ syndrome,” Obi urged. “A new generation of leaders who embody competence, integrity, and fresh perspectives can pave the way for a better future for Nigeria and Africa.”
