Peter Obi urges shift from money-driven politics to competence-based leadership...
The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has called for a shift from money-driven politics to competence-based leadership during a visit to Kaduna State.
CBI News reports that Obi made the call on Sunday while meeting stakeholders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as part of his ongoing nationwide consultations.
Sharing details of the visit on his verified Facebook page, he said the engagement provided valuable insight into the political climate of the state.
“Today… I visited Kaduna State, where I met with our party stakeholders and members,” Obi said.
During the visit, he met with political figures including Dr Ahmed Tijjani, a gubernatorial hopeful, and Senator Lawal Adamu, who represents Kaduna Central.
Obi noted that the interaction reflected a shared commitment among stakeholders to contribute to national development.
Describing Kaduna as a key state in Nigeria’s growth, he said it once stood as a symbol of unity and economic strength, driven by industry, agriculture, and commerce.
“Kaduna remains a very strategic state… it still holds that potential,” he stated.
He stressed the need to rebuild trust and strengthen unity, warning that division remains a major obstacle to progress.
“A divided society cannot progress, but a united… one will always find a path to peace and development,” Obi said.
Obi also criticised the growing influence of money in politics, urging leaders to prioritise competence, integrity, and measurable results.
“Leaders must move away from the politics of money and embrace competence, character, and results,” he added.
Expressing optimism about Nigeria’s future, Obi said the visit reinforced his belief that the country can overcome its challenges through effective leadership and collective effort.
“This visit has strengthened my belief that with the right leadership and collective effort, we can build a Nigeria that works one where every citizen, regardless of background, has a sense of belonging and opportunity.
“I leave Kaduna feeling encouraged and hopeful that a New Nigeria is Possible,” he wrote.
