Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, has called on President Bola Tinubu to stop giving excuses but rather proffer solutions to the myriads of problems facing the country.<\/p>\n

The former Anambra State governor who gave the charge in a series of tweets on his official X handle on Friday, said the problems facing the nation were well-known to all Nigerians and needs leaders who have a thorough plan of action to tackle its unique struggles.<\/p>\n

Obi called on those in leadership positions to offer tangible solutions, not mere reminders that others face similar challenges, adding that it was disheartening to hear those in charge, who were hired to address problems, say that Nigerians are not the only ones struggling with poverty and hunger, instead of providing direction, guidance, solutions, and reassurance in times of crisis.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThe problems facing Nigeria are well-known to all Nigerians,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are the poverty capital of the world, among the most insecure people on earth, among the hungriest, have poor education quality and the highest number of out-of-school children, high infant mortality, corruption, unemployment, the highest income gap between the poor and the rich, high corruption perception index, infrastructure and healthcare challenges, and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is disheartening to hear those in charge, who were hired to address our problems, make statements like \u2018we are not the only ones struggling with poverty and hunger.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of merely acknowledging that other countries face similar challenges, we need to hear a thorough plan of action to tackle our unique struggles.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe require concrete solutions and a clear vision to address these issues, not comparisons that downplay our circumstances.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge those in leadership positions to offer tangible solutions, not mere reminders that others face similar challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need a comprehensive approach to tackle our specific challenges, not generalizations that dismiss our experiences. A true leader provides direction, guidance, solutions, and reassurance in times of crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the hallmark of visionary leadership and a trait of nations that are making progress and advancing their development. They don\u2019t simply state the obvious but offer a roadmap for overcoming obstacles.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust like a pilot who doesn\u2019t just announce turbulence, they assure passengers that they will do everything possible to ensure a safe journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly then can we begin to trust that our country is in capable hands, working towards a brighter future for all Nigerians,\u201d he concluded.Balanced, fearless journalism driven by data comes at huge financial costs.<\/p>\n

As a media platform, we hold leadership accountable and will not trade the right to press freedom and free speech for a piece of cake.<\/p>\n
