Peter Obi has countered Governor Sanwo-Olu’s claim that he’s “demarketing” Nigeria. Obi insists he’s not revealing secrets—the world already knows. What he’s describing, he says, is a national tragedy in urgent need of correction.
- Obi says speaking about Nigeria’s struggles abroad isn’t betrayal—it’s truth-telling backed by global data.
- He cites World Bank and UNICEF stats to underscore child poverty, food insecurity, and systemic failure.
- Argues that avoiding these conversations only deepens the crisis and weakens democratic accountability.
“Nigeria’s condition is not hidden,” Obi said. “I only went to explain it and seek understanding.” For millions without basic education, food, or power, these aren’t foreign criticisms—they’re daily facts. Silence won’t solve them.
If the world already sees our struggles, can we begin to face them together, truthfully, constructively? What kind of leadership owns the pain and still chooses to heal?
