Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has called on intending leaders of Nigeria to be compassionate about the welfare of the people.
Obi also said whoever wants to be addressed as ‘His Excellency’ must embody excellence.
He spoke on Saturday in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, at a meeting of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, and the Obidient Movement.
He stressed the importance of unity, calling on all Nigerians to work together as one family toward the common goal of building a new Nigeria.
The former Anambra State governor said Nigeria’s politics must shift from mere consumption to production, harnessing the nation’s resources to generate wealth and prosperity for all.
“Nigeria must be led by leaders who are competent, compassionate, and committed — leaders who prioritise development, security, education, healthcare, poverty reduction, and creating opportunities for our youth.
“But achieving this requires a renewal of character and accountability. Those who aspire to be called “honourable” must truly act honourably; those who seek to be addressed as “His Excellency” must embody excellence; and those who aim to be “distinguished” must live distinguished lives.
“Let this be the standard for our leaders and a guiding principle for all citizens committed to the nation’s progress,” Obi said.
