During his appearance on News Central TV on Monday, September 9, Obi clarified that Nigeria is already richly endowed, but its advancement has been obstructed by self-serving and ineffective politicians.
“Don’t pray for Nigeria, because the nation is already blessed. Instead, pray for us to have good leaders. The problem lies with the people, not with the country,” Obi said, emphasising the importance of leadership in driving the nation’s development.
He further explained that with selfless and visionary leadership, Nigeria would make significant progress, ensuring a better quality of life for all citizens.

“If we have leaders who prioritise the country’s welfare over personal interests, Nigeria will thrive, and the people will enjoy a better life,” he added.
Obi’s comments highlight his belief that the nation’s challenges stem from poor leadership and not from any lack of potential or resources, hence his advise that Nigerians direct their prayers towards fostering good governance and ensuring that the right people are in positions of power.
