Peter Obi’s recent tour during Ramadan wrapped up with a bang, hitting towns in Nasarawa, Gombe, Bauchi, and Kaduna. He wasn’t just sightseeing; he had a mission. First up, he wanted to sort out the water situation, and second, he wanted to pray for Nigeria.
In Gombe, he kicked things off by opening a new borehole and helping out about a hundred folks with some cash. Then, it was off to Bauchi, where he did the same drill – more water and more cash. But Kaduna was the big finale. Meeting with the local bigwig, the Emir of Zazzau, Obi talked about how folks in the North need to focus more on making stuff instead of just buying it.
Now, on social media, everyone’s got an opinion. Some folks up North think Obi’s a hero, saying he should keep it up, even if he doesn’t win in 2027. Others reckon he’s just trying to win votes by sucking up to the North. But there’s also a group that thinks he’s just being a good guy, spreading his goodwill to all corners of Nigeria.
Whatever people say, Obi’s actions speak louder than words. Sure, he’s got his eye on the big prize, but at the end of the day, he’s making a real difference in people’s lives. And isn’t that what leadership should be all about? As Obi himself put it, “We need a Nigeria that puts people first.” In his tour, he’s not just quenching thirsts; he’s giving folks hope for a better tomorrow. And in a country like Nigeria, that’s worth its weight in gold.
