Peter Obi urges Nigerians to reject religious intolerance, tribalism, and the “my turn” mentality in leadership.
The “my turn” attitude, tribalism, and religious bias are impeding Nigeria’s progress, according to Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the country’s general elections in 2023.
In highlighting Kemi Badenoch’s recent election as the head of the UK Conservative Party, Obi pointed out that many Nigerians are questioning their own abilities at the moment of her accomplishment.
Obi commended Badenoch’s accomplishment in a congrats message posted on his X account (previously Twitter) on Sunday, saying he saw it as a positive model for young people in Nigeria and Africa. Given that events in Nigeria have caused people to doubt their own abilities, the announcement of Kemi Badenoch, a Nigerian-born man, being elected leader of the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom couldn’t have come at a better moment.
Obi underlined that Badenoch’s accomplishments highlight the value of diversity and the opportunities that arise when competence, honesty, and inclusivity are given top priority. He claimed that her election was evidence of the potential of African and Nigerian youth on a global scale.

Obi questioned the inclination to marginalize young, capable leaders in favor of older, less motivated individuals while considering Nigeria’s leadership landscape. He said he hoped Badenoch’s accomplishment would encourage Nigerians to value traits like ability, honesty, and vision in their own leaders.
“As we commemorate Kemi’s accomplishment, may it act as a spur for transformation in Nigeria. Obi asked people to abandon antiquated customs of religious prejudice, tribalism, and the “my turn” mindset. “A better future for Nigeria and Africa can be paved by a new generation of leaders who exhibit competence, integrity, and new perspectives.”
In closing, he congratulated Badenoch and reiterated his optimism for a “new Nigeria.”
