Nigerians might have to commence their search for another rock upon which the country shall be built, as the last weapon of hope seems to be dining already with leaders who have rendered a disservice to the nation.
In a post, the Labour Party candidate during the 2023 general election explained that it was an honor for him to attend the launch of General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida’s long-awaited autobiography at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel.
Among the disappointing statements of the former Anambra State Governor were mentions that Babangida’s contributions to Nigeria’s economy and strong support for entrepreneurship and private sector growth remained immeasurable. According to him, the documentation of such experiences is a welcome development, as it allows prospective leaders to learn from those who have served and left a lasting impact on the nation.
Gutted netizens have taken out their fury on Peter Obi, with many citing that he should have known better, given that he equally suffered the same fate in 2023 as the late Abiola in 1993. While some have speculated that the acknowledgment might be a pragmatic way of romanticizing his way into the “big leagues” to secure political favor come 2027, others believe he should have steered clear of the affairs of those who ran the country aground with their evil genius.
What is your take on this new development?
