What Obi, LP Will Do In Four Years

If the message rhymes with me and is compatible with my ideological values, I will publish it on my Facebook Wall, irrespective of the political party of the author.

Asked what the Obi-Datti presidency would do in four years, he said:

“Before you get to four years, in the first month, stop the killing and start the healing; stop the stealing and start the keeping; stop the slide and start the climb."

“And in four years, you will see huge farmlands in the North; expansive roads going all over; industries in Kano and Kaduna; huge manufacturing outfits; refineries all over Southern Nigeria; more bridges across the Niger; universities won’t be on strike for four years; a stable naira; and armed robbery will be a thing of the past. A community being attacked at night will be history. Kidnap on a federal network, make a phone call on our GSM, no. We will fish you out wherever you are. Nigerian armed forces will serve justice on you."

“We will continue to do that until it stops. Corruption and highly placed individuals who steal our billions, no. I don’t think so. Racketeering in subsidy, I don’t think so. Foreign exchange scam, definitely not. Gatekeepers around the villa, money launderers around the villa, peddlers of influence around the villa, I assure you none. We won’t have hangers-on that don’t have jobs, like it happened in the past; no way, it won’t happen.”

"Nigeria will witness very fast recovery,; meeting our OPEC quota (in oil production); Nigeria will start to export; Nigerians happily will be attending Nigerian universities and attending Nigerian hospitals, going on holiday in Obudu, Cross River, Yankari, Jos all over in the same way that you have elites with their money going out for holidays. We will do our holidays here in Nigeria.

“Nigerians in the Diaspora will be coming back to Nigeria with their expertise, and knowledge. We will bring all those hot heads back, and make the naira stable.”

Dr. Datti Ahmed knows what ails Nigeria and was able to articulate the way forward coherently, without reference to a prepared work.

Ideas, selflessness, and audacity move a nation forward, not religion or ethnic biases. And Nigeria is lacking acutely in those three areas in its leadership circle. Sadly, we are very strident in the observance of religious and ethnic considerations in appointments and allocations of resources at both federal, state, and local levels.

The massive infrastructural development that has taken place and is ongoing in Cairo, Egypt since the Arab Spring is unprecedented in the history of African civilization. It's happening in Egypt because Egypt is governed as one country and they serve one God.

I pray that come 2023, Nigerian voters will elect a President and Vice President who will see you first as a Nigerian, without reference to your place of birth or the God you serve. Amen
