 Peter Obi's recent address to graduating students underscored his commitment to inspiring positive change in Nigeria. As the Labour Party's presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Obi emphasized that effective leadership stems not from personal ambition, but from a genuine desire to drive progress.

Obi's message resonated deeply, especially among Nigerian youths who are eager for a new era of leadership. He urged them to embrace a spirit of service and support, rather than merely seeking power or prestige. By doing so, Obi encouraged the youths to become active participants in shaping Nigeria's future.

One of the key takeaways from Obi's address was his emphasis on the need for "right leadership" in Nigeria. He cited economist James Robinson, who noted that Nigeria has the potential to prosper, but often fails to capitalize on its opportunities. Obi likened this situation to allowing drivers who have reached their destinations to continue steering the vehicle, warning that such leadership would inevitably lead to losses.

Obi's words serve as a call to action for Nigerian youths to rise above the failures of past generations. He acknowledged that the current situation is a result of previous generations' refusal to do what is right, and emphasized the need for collective responsibility in driving positive change.
