Peter Obi, former Labour Party presidential candidate, expressed disappointment with Nigeria’s progress compared to peer nations.

In his Independence Day message, he called on leaders to examine their actions and address stagnation.

Nigeria has lagged behind in development indexes 64 years after independence. Obi stressed the need for reflection and accountability.

Key areas for improvement are poverty reduction, education, economic growth, security, peacefulness, and corruption elimination.

Obi advocated for a committed leadership to build a nation prioritizing citizen well-being, unity, and diversity.

To achieve national rebirth, Obi proposed strategies including:

– National security

– Unity and diversity management

– Economic growth

– Institutional reforms

– Economic diversification

– Infrastructure development

– Effective foreign policy

With purposeful leadership and collective action, Nigeria’s greatness is achievable.
