Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has criticized Nigeria’s political class for prioritizing frivolities over the nation’s critical challenges.
In a statement on his X handle on Sunday, Obi described the current political landscape as an embarrassing spectacle, accusing leaders of turning governance into a reality TV show : ”Too much on frivolities as poverty deepens is Concerning,
“It is deeply troubling that Nigeria’s political leadership is rapidly descending into an embarrassing spectacle.
“We are at a time when our nation faces the highest levels of actual and multidimensional poverty, soaring infant mortality rates, millions of out-of-school children, and one of the most insecure and hunger-stricken environments on earth.
“One would expect our leaders to be focusing and sacrificing solely on providing urgent, transformative solutions to this myriad of problems.
“What is coming out of the three arms of government—the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary—is disgusting and uninspiring,
“The executive show of negative power as seen in Osun state, the reckless judiciary pronouncement on Rivers state that is capable of threatening democracy, plus the embarrassing scandal from the national assembly, all combine to give a gloomy picture of our democratic journey.
