I don’t blame people who think like this: “Once Peter Obi enters, I will dust my CV.” “Once Peter Obi enters, fuel will be 200 naira per litre and the dollar will be 85 naira per dollar” Honestly, I don’t blame them entirely. Peter Obi himself deserves a significant share of the blame for allowing his supporters to build their expectations around slogans, fantasies, and promises that have not been backed by a clear, detailed policy agenda. Ask these people what Peter Obi’s plans are for the economy, agriculture, national security, job creation, industrialisation, and business development, and watch them struggle to provide a coherent answer. Not because these issues are unimportant, but because the man they are campaigning for has not even given them enough solid policy details to defend. But how can Peter Obi’s supporters explain his plans when he has not adequately articulated them himself? Where is the detailed economic blueprint? What specific policies will he implement? How does he intend to create jobs, attract investment, increase agricultural productivity, tackle insecurity, and strengthen local businesses? What are the timelines, the funding mechanisms, and the measurable targets? A presidential ambition is not a policy document, neither is criticizing a government the same as knowing how to govern. Also, making Nigerians angry about their problems does not automatically qualify you to solve them. All he seems to do is reiterate how badly the government of the day has performed. Senior man, that format don cast. Nigerians are living with the consequences every day. You are not telling us anything new. The real question is this: WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU INTEND TO DO DIFFERENTLY, AND HOW DO YOU INTEND TO DO IT? We have seen what happens when Nigerians are sold “change” without sufficient scrutiny of the person offering it. We cannot afford to replace one disappointing administration with another leadership experiment built on public enthusiasm, vague assurances, and the assumption that everything will magically improve once the right person enters Aso Rock. If you genuinely mean well for Nigeria, stop treating political loyalty as a substitute for critical thinking. Stop making excuses for politicians who have not adequately explained their plans. Demand specifics. Demand evidence. Demand accountability before handing anyone the most powerful elected office in the country. Do not vote for a man simply because you believe he is better than the person currently in office. Vote for someone who can clearly explain what he intends to do, how he intends to do it, how much it will cost, and how Nigerians will measure his performance. Nigeria is too important, and the consequences of bad leadership are too severe, for us to keep voting on the strength of slogans and personal faith in politicians.
