Your Excellency Esteemed Mr. Peter Obi, 240 million Nigerians are
writing to share some honest concerns regarding your recent trip to South Africa.
Respectfully sir it is good that you are engaging with Nigerians abroad, but many of us are wondering whether this visit is driven by genuine concern for the 240 million Nigerians at home or if it is connected to the 2027 election season.
The core question remains: Why are Nigerians leaving the country for places like South Africa? The root causes must be addressed. Nigerians continue to face insecurity, daily killings by boko haram and other groups, lack of jobs, children unable to attend school, and farmers unable to farm. These are the real issues pushing people abroad.
If these trips are simply photo opportunities ahead of the next election, then they do not help the country now 5/23/2026. What Nigerians need is leadership that focuses on solving the root causes of our problems now 5/23/2026
No single president has been able to stop the killings of Nigerians since 1999 this is the honest truth. This means the only real solution is collaboration. You, President Tinubu, and all opposition parties must work together to address insecurity and rebuild the country. Nigerians want unity of purpose, not political rivalry with all due respect sir. You can vote for any parties you like that is your choice and your vote will determine your children`s future no country is perfect Nigerian leaders can do better if they are serious.
Nigerians abroad often say they prefer staying in abroad because there are jobs, safety, and functioning schools. That should not be the case. Nigeria should be a place where 240 million Nigerians feel safe, where farmers can work, where children can learn, and where Nigerians do not live in fear.
Respectfully sir if you are serious about helping Nigeria, then focus on fixing the root causes of insecurity. Work with the 36 state governors and the 774 local governments. Instead of spending money on travel, invest in free hospitals, education, and infrastructure across the 36 states 774 LGA. You do not need to be president to make meaningful contributions now 5/23/2026. We do not intend to be disrespectful sir, but we have seen these for decades and repetition of recycled failed promises.
If these issues cannot be solved now, in 2026, it is hard to believe they will suddenly be solved in 2027. Nigerians deserve honesty and real action.
The world is watching Nigeria—over 195 countries, including the USA and UK, observe our politics and institutions. What the country needs now is not photo ops, but real work that makes Nigeria safe, stable, and prosperous again.
When Nigeria becomes secure, investors will return, Nigerians abroad will come home, and the country can finally move forward.
Thank you for taking the time to read this message.
